    Nice Ben, that looks good! Is there a hitch mount under the plate?

    Yeah, the plate is actually attached to a piece of 2" angle that goes into the receiver and is locked on there with a locking pin.

    Ben, that looks awesome. I wouldn't be too worried about the warpage, but easier said than done when I am looking at cell phone pictures. It's different when it's on your truck.

    Thanks.

    Ben - I may or may not be looking for the perfect rock to drop it on. That's why I'll fix it after moab since moab may fix it for me. Would sure save me some work, too! :D

    If it is the one I am thinking of they have estate sales like once a month. They must be buying and reselling.
    Awesome Ben. Well done.

    First time I have logged on since January. I will be home in (to CO) like 3 weeks. Sorry for the stupid spelling and phrasing of this comment. They have different keyboards down here and I can not find any of the grammer keys......and everything is miss spelled because I am not typing in spanish.

    Anyhow, any big developments in the past two months?

    Things down here have been insane. Two months of constant backpacking in Patagonia....not much to complain about (except getting deported from Argentina when we tried to hike in, however it was partially our fault). I am in Punta Arenas now, we just bussed through Argentina (on our second try) from El Bolson (just south of Bariloche) for 26 hours. Side note on El Bolson. Biggest hippie town you could imagine. More people have dreads than regular hair. Tomorrow we are attemping the Cabo Froward track. Its the trail to the southern most point of continental south america. Something like 50 miles in 4 days with 3 (each way) big river corssings we have to time with the ocean tides. Wish us luck.

    I think I will be back in CO on the 21st or something. Vamos a ver. Hopefully living in Denver over the summer if I can find a job (someone hook a brotha up :p). So we should have a mod day or some type of BBQ or something at the end of the month!
