Hahahaha, oh come on. I didn't end up butchering my friends control arms. It's not like I'm as stubborn as Ben.
Well I already bought the 1/8 tubing, so I'll probably end up plating the entire length of it with 3/16 plating.
I'm surprised you don't think 1/8 is thick enough. I don't even think the "frame rails" on the Neon that I will be bolting the receiver to are that thick.

Also, the actual receiver part is a separate piece. It has a 2" ID and it's about 1/4" thick.

I think your going to have trouble getting up the ramp. All that wieght behind the rear axle is going to make the front end very light. Traction will be hard to find on a wet, concrete ramp..

I think so too, but there's only one way to find out. Well two, but I wasn't a physics major.

I measured a receiver hitch in my garage and it's 3/16. That's why I recommended it. If I were building one for my Explorer I would build it out of 3/16 but I tend to overbuild to be on the safe side. The 3 inch tube that I used as the cross brace for the front leaf spring mount I built on the Explorer is 3/16 and the two down peice that hold the front of the leaf packs are made out of 3 1/2 inch with 1/4 thickness.
I agree with Paul. I don't think the Neon will pull your boat up a ramp. I had an '84 Toyota pickup years ago and had to pull my wifes aunt's boat out of Lake Parris. I had to put the truck in 4 low to have enough power to pull it up the ramp. |

I'm not stubborn. I'm right.
