Tongue Lashing ?
Permalink  
 

The tongue on my trailer is very short.  It was impossible for me to back up.  So I found an outfit that sent me a 4 foot section of 2.5X1.5" tubing to extend my tongue an additional 2 foot.  For now, the 4 foot section was simply stacked on top of the original tongue.  A couple of heavy galvanized U bolts keep it in place.  I'm going to follow up with some tack welds.  That was tongue lashing number one.  Number two tongue lashing was from my sweet wife wondering when (and if) I'm going to get busy and make some money!  no

 Great idea, picked up the hardware today, and drilled out the holes.  I figured that 7/16 bolts would do the job.  I feel a lot more confident about the extension now.  Thanks
