Thanks man, it was our first time really building anything like that. It turned out better than I thought it would. I did have my other friend weld it up with an arc welder to make sure it is strong because my welding skills aren't so great.

I will be towing a little harbor freight trailer with 4 wheels and tires on it, and a little tool box to take to the race track.

I am going to build another bar to make the hitch a little closer to the bumper and just change a few things on the way it mounts.
