Hey Guise, I'm trying to build a trailer in time for this weekend's Crank Mob. Any of you have any tips/links on how to make a good hitch? I want to be able to support 200 lbs.

The first one is cheaper, but the plastic shell also says it's cracking. If you need it support 200 lbs though, you might be building it from angle iron and finding someone to weld it up for you. 200lbs??

YouTube has a handful of DIY vids up there. I'd check em out but I'm at work.

There's one in OC for $25. Where's San Clemente anyways?

Oh also I gave the oven alot of trailer parts. Second also, Dave, goes by the ironic name "sexy", has a big ass bag full of trailer parts. Keep those all in one place if you get the stuff from Dave.
