How many mils thick should the bag be? What's the best way to secure it? If there's excess bag flapping around in the wind it might make too much noise. Is there a good website where garage bags are compared? It's got to be current up to date info though as garage bag data from last year or older is useless. He'd probably have to buy a whole box of bags even though only one is needed and that's how they get you...big garbage bag corporate conspiracy.

Seriously, I would just throw one of those contractors/garden huge garbage bag over tow bar.

And now those safety chains are rusted! The strength is compromised. You should remove those and store safely some place warm and dry. Properly clean, heat and oil-quench to restore. Better yet, start over, buy a new set. Those cannot be trusted. They look on the small side anyway. Do better research to make sure the new set is properly sized. I hear they make them in stainless…. Oohhh wait…does stainless have the same tensile strength as regular, zinc-plated?? Oh shit….more research……

Again. Tow bar not protected. Epic fail.

But that won't stop the bugs and rodents from making a new home. Hopefully the wires have synthetic insulation and will only get a few nibbles instead of being eaten.

We care are else there wouldn't be 12 pages, right? BTW- good job. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Yeah but that's gonna really hold in the moisture underneath. It's probably already rotting the boards, rusting the frame and compromising the wheel bearings. I think maybe rigging up a fan system to create proper airflow would be a good idea.

For those that care, this is how well it’s worked out with recent rains…very little pooling.

nice repair. I sent the pics to No. 2 son.

Sooo....thanks to charliethepenismarks1704, I now have pics and the RS-3 system is boxed and ready to travel....wherever it may be called upon to go... I replaced the missing rivet with one having a slightly smaller head...pretty unnoticeable....

Heads up on email address charliemarks1704@gmail.com He is a scammer that strung me along for over a dozen emails and then tried to get me to make changes to my PP to "receive" his payment. Dirty bastard he is!! Carry on....😐

You'd only know if you tested it.

Carlos doesn't know it, but I sabotage his torque wrenches when I'm there. If it's not at 0 I correct it. Maybe a high quality torque wrench spring won't sag like their tester did, but I won't chance it.

Get you some

After watching the video, I knew that lube changed the torque but in this case, double!!! I didn't think 100 ft. lbs. would become 200.

Yesterday was the first time I ever torqued a bolt with anti-seize on it. Sway-bar mounting bolts (installed new rubber bushings). The upper bolts don't have to be completely removed, so I didn't put anti-seize on those. They torqued normally. Now I understand why it wasn't hitting the setting on the lower bolts.😬 At least I didn't keep at it until the wrench clicked, but definitely over-torqued. Wish they had also done that test with WD-40 and plain motor oil. Am I the only one that is thinking I should use anti-seize on everything now, and just torque to half? My old shoulder thinks that's a great idea.🤔

Dodge OEM. 1000# tongue rating. But look away, this solution will not work for you. Nowhere near enough tie down locations for your 10 strap, spider web anchoring method.

Not one you've seen, obviously.

I just follow the instructions just like not sticking my finger in an electric closing hatch. 🙂

What kind of hitch is that? The ones I’ve seen ARE NOT rated for a full size motorcycle.

Just hitch carry…..simple and drama free.

I've never turned one down, and they don't seem to care. I never release tension on any spring; guns, tools, whatever. Doesn't seem to matter. I've been assured that I will fuck up my bandsaw because I don't do it; still waiting after like 15-20 years.
