I doubt Jimmyfloyd and I will ever see the track and race. But I ensured stacking the deck this past weekend. Right before he tried to leave I slipped 45 pounds of trailer hitch in his car

Mine started coming OFF the 93 last night. It'* more of a bear to take it off the 93 than it will be to put it on the 95.

Ya, hitches on a Bonneville are tough. I had one on my 87 and I have one on my 99. Both require the exhaust to be dropped to take it on/off.

I'd have to look at my paperwork for the exact figure. I know that I'm just sensible with it.

With my 87 Bonnie, before the transmission took a puke, I towed home the donor Bonnie with my 87. LMAO I did the 90 mile drove with it in tow on the dolly!

I'm a little easier on the 99. The biggest load I've towed is a garden tractor on a utility trailer back from New York state this past fall. Wasn't bad, but I could definitely feel the load back there!

I think that is what my cousin has on his 95 N/A. I think he tows his snowmobile with it.

It'* the baby hitch that I weighed Geoff down with. The guy told me he hauled his boat with it.

Bill.. on the 95 I lowered the exhaust and snuck up there to get it out. But I think to properly install it (at least the one I had) you need to pull the bumper to put squared U bolts into the body. Although I've never popped off the bumper..most make it sound easy.
