MoneyMakeranch Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 What can you do with a 4 angle grinder and a couple of weekends, you start with a bed like this whittle on it with the angle grinder till you get to this point use a 4x4 1" thick plate yes I know its overkill but I had the plate at home from another project notch it on the sides to clear between the frame rails of the bed and on top of the main frame rails of the truck then drop on a TLSB hitch with three air bags on top of the plate and now I have all the hitch I need for my trailer, still need to finish out the trim work on the sides and the front and back end to make it look good and bolt the hitch down. center of the pin is 23" behind the rear axle. but one HECK of a start to getting this rig on the road.

GlennWest Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) I cut all metal with a metabo blade on a 4" grinder. They so make a circular saw that cuts metal well now. Have not priced them but no sparks. Use them at work. Cuts 5/8" plate easily.
