I don't mind working some holidays, most all I can except for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Although as a salaried employee I get paid 3.5x my base for 12hrs and they feed you.

This

Makes me happy.  Aluminum receiver, complete stainless steel ball and mounting hardware

[///M5 2,833]

Because, this is only 4 years old.  The alum/stainless one was $60 this one was $30+ and now looks like

 

Yay, fucking salt

[///M5 2,833]

I do leave it attached basically all winter as it was so gross and dirty I didn't like taking it off.  The ML had an aluminum one on it, but the key that locked it on was rusted shut so upon selling it I didn't have time to take it off.  

[nem 2,019]

The aluminum sure looks nice.

salt is the devil

[dem beats 1,223]

I didn't know aluminum came tough enough.

[topgun 262]

They make some good aluminum.  Fatigue life becomes something you have to care about, but when its engineered properly it doesn't matter for this kind of application.  

[///M5 2,833]

I didn't know aluminum came tough enough.

There is new sheet aluminum at the same thickness out that is as strong as the steel they used in cars in the 60's.

 

Ok, not quite out but expect to see it this year.

[///M5 2,833]

In this case it is solid and "only" rated to 8000lbs which exceeds anything I tow.

[///M5 2,833]

Finding a hitch ball with a stainless nut was the hard part.  The alumastinger pretty easy.

[topgun 262]

Stainless ball, stainless nut...  Hope they did that one right...  

[///M5 2,833]

Ha, was concerned about that myself.  Hate to see the chains on the trailer have to work.

That's 90% of the time for me. I have horrible forward posturing.

[dem beats 1,223]

I have way more life insurance than I thought. Better not tell the wife.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Do NOT buy from SoundQubed if you live in the hood. 

[S.DeYoung 967]

Yeah that's terrible marketing. Yikes

[ssh 924]

At least they're honest.
