    Here’s a removal hack for all the barrel locks on receiver hitches, slide a pipe over the lock side and it snaps off clean with very little effort…pin and standard lock is by far more secure.

    For informational purposes if you have a lock on a tow hitch that has no key. You can take a pipe slide it on the lock side and pull and it will sheer the smaller shank of the lock. Only use for emergency purposes!!

    • @thedirtheadshed

      @nathanwoten6236 ปีที่แล้ว

      I learnd how to pick locks when i was like 18 for situations like these. Its actually quite easy once you do it a couple times. Having the proper equipent (picks and tention bars) makes a big diffrence but i have improvised a few times and made things on the spot. Now there are tons of videos on youtube to teach you. I always keep a small little kit with 4 pick and2 tention bars in my wallet all the time and i have a couple full kits with everything u could need including dounke sided for utmotie locks in my pick up and in one of my tool bags i take places when i need they have come inhandy more times then i ca count i also kep a couple slim jims a wedge and air bag for getting keys ot of a locked car i end up helping some one every couple months at least with it.

    First time I set a Tobar up To a Suzuki samurai that was already lifted the wheels instantly went sideways and had to figure out how to make it go straight. Really nice single cab can't wait to see what to do with it Cheers

    You could also make up a winch plate that will slide in to the mounts on your Suzuki. It may not be the best for a 12k winch, but should be plenty strong fo something like a 6k winch. Should be great for light to med duty jobs. Pulling out a buddy with a small to med size rig or moving something round your yard & or junk yard, pulling a new project or ustd ig on to a trailr ect.

    My 02 tracker is like the poor man's 2 door version of that thing, came with a tow kit that besides the towing arms, it also had a bull bar that could be installed in the mount pockets. It's pretty solid too. Been considering adding a little more steel and mounting a smediumish winch sized for like a sxs since my little 2 door is so light. Have a question for you, I've been thinking about lifting this thing and have wondered if you have ever used a heavy duty cv axle as a driveshaft before? Since my tracker has so little distance between the transfer case and the axles (severe angle), I was thinking of ordering some custom cv's that people have made for their drag cars that pump out like 1500hp. I feel like even a modified rear cv from an expedition or armada would probably do. Thoughts?
