I would think that the hitch would be able to take a beating, and the frame around it. These things are designed to haul 10,000 lbs or more and after time those crumple zones would start to crumple even if thery werent in a accident. I dont even think these trucks have crumple zones IMO just from the way they trucks designed to be so strong.

What about time zone differences? Some of you are well on with your day before I even think about getting up.

Did anyone go to that guy's Youtube home page?
His background picture shows him standing next to a turbocharger that has to be at least 3 FEET TALL. His foot is resting on the CAC outlet and it is probably 12 inches in diameter!!!

The only way I would have been close enough to even see that thing would be to have a LONG lens pointed at it, and wearing body armor!

I'm left with a bunch of questions, however.

Wassup at FTE today? Hope everyone is well and having a good weekend.

Doing good here. Mild weather, a little humid but not bad and I just fired the grill up outside.

Susan is back on her diet but I'm not. On today's menu, beer brats with peppers and onions.
