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.



Trailer looks pretty level to me. Am I missing something?

Here's a photo with my torpedo level sitting on the trailer frame.
Bubble is in the lest marked space.
They do say that it's better to have the trailer slightly down and tongue heavy rather than up too high.

The weight on the tongue should be about 8% of the gross trailer weight, and then the trailer should
be level - or fairly close.
