Well, here it is, my new rig... well the boat is a year old this month and
the Highlander is almost 3 months old.

I have it on a fairly level spot to measure how level the trailer is with a
2" drop receiver.

D'oh... I need to reverse the draw bar so the hitch is 3/4 inches high.
I'm struggling with that because I don't have a 1 & 9/16" or 1 & 5/8ths
wrench to hold the ball steady while I remove the big 1.5" nut and it's
locking washer.

I tried my water pump pliers with duct take over the jaws to protect the
chrome but it's too slippery.

Guess I'm off to Princess Auto to buy a big cheap Chinese adjustable wrench.

Why buy cheap wrench? Use a pipe wrench and good for pipes later. As to
the ball, get one of these types and forget about greasy pants.

Wonder how long that nylon will last?
