Chevy Blazer With Custom Hitch

Cehvy Blazer pulling a 5th wheel camper

This is clearly a man who did not care about his life or the people around him.  I’d love to see how the trip ended, up but I feel confident he ended up in a ravine somewhere wondering why bad things seems to always happen to him.  He’s hooked up and ready to fly!!  It’s amazing how the extra weight really smoothed out the ride in the Chevy Blazer.  He did have to air up the rear tires a bit (around 160 psi).

 

Chevy Blazer Custom Hitch

He added some heavy-duty chain for extra support on the tailgate (note that he used the "Heavy-Duty ‘S’ hooks to attach the chain).  He also paid-up for some BIG 5/16 sheetmetal screws to attach the frame to the tailgate.  Yeah, he knows it’s overkill, but he didn’t want the possibility of having an accident. 

A hitch gone terribly wrong

Much of his time was spent on his front porch whittling down that MASSIVE 4×4 board to fit precisely into the ball mount receiver.  Also note that he used a 14" piece of 1×4 to help distribute the load more evenly– It cost a little more, but you just can’t be too safe when pulling a trailer of this magnitude!
