At 24:00, what size socket you using for the nut and bolt for the hinge? 28mm? It’s just barely over an inch enough that my socket doesn’t fit, but it’s like 27.5mm with my calipers.
I don’t for 2.5 but it’s should be very similar just got go with a larger tube than the 2x2 I spec out. Can as you what the actual inside measurement is for a 2.5 receiver hitch. I could probably make a custom one off. Feel free to reach my by email on the contact page on my website. 🦾
Awesome video! I will most definitely purchase this version. I never finished the first version and I'm glad I didn't finish it. Thanks for the detailed instruction. Keep up the awesome work. My welding students noticed the missing PPE. LOL!
Hi there! Very much interested but newer to welding. Seems like 1/4” is the thickest material being used, in your estimation would a 120v mig welder be sufficient? Love the videos and thanks for your time
Hi, in all honesty I don’t think a 120v welder will be adequate for 1/4” thick material. I think to make it somewhat work is to preheat the material prior to welding if you want to make it somewhat work. If you can try to get a bigger unit with the amps to support the material thickness
Ok great, thank you so much for your time. This is not the first project where I find I’m in need of something stronger so I guess it’s time. Great build!

A video back to back weeks? 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Curious what tumbler and media you use for metal parts?
At 24:00, what size socket you using for the nut and bolt for the hinge? 28mm? It’s just barely over an inch enough that my socket doesn’t fit, but it’s like 27.5mm with my calipers.
I can’t remember off the top my head but probably 28mm
Such an awesome kit! I will be ordering one soon.
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Love the DIY kit on your website. Do you have plans and a kit for a 2.5 inch receiver hitch?
I don’t for 2.5 but it’s should be very similar just got go with a larger tube than the 2x2 I spec out. Can as you what the actual inside measurement is for a 2.5 receiver hitch. I could probably make a custom one off. Feel free to reach my by email on the contact page on my website. 🦾
What MiG setting did you use for your metal thickness?
Do you sell a fully build one? And how much
Sorry just kits only. One thing you could do is ask around locally if someone can weld this kit up for you. I know some people have done that.
Would you sell a completed one on your site?
Sorry just kits for now.
How long is the receiver tube?
11”
What does this weight without tire
about 50 lbs
Awesome video! I will most definitely purchase this version. I never finished the first version and I'm glad I didn't finish it. Thanks for the detailed instruction. Keep up the awesome work. My welding students noticed the missing PPE. LOL!
