Brophy Trailer Hitch Adapter Review - Video
This product converts your 1 1/4 inch receiver hitch up to a 2 inch receiver hitch for certain applications such as cargo carriers or bike racks. Well show you how it gets installed on the hitch, its pretty simple. It just plugs in like so, install your pin and clip and youre good to go. A couple of things you want to take note of, the adapter itself is rated at 350 pounds of tongue weight. However, when its plugged into your hitch you want to limit your hitch to about 175 pounds tongue weight. Basically it cuts it in half. So if you have 350 pounds of tongue weight originally, with this adapter its going to cut it in half to about 175 pounds of tongue weight to deal with. Typical applications of this are bike racks, two inch cargo carriers will work on this, however you want to be careful how much weight you put on there. That pretty much covers it for part number HTAD, the 1 1/4 inch to 2 inch adapter bar. more

This is the easy way to align your truck and trailer with a fifth wheel, goose neck or a tag along hitch. Well show you how these units work starting on an actual truck and trailer. What this product does is that the base of it has a magnet installed on the bottom. One gets mounted onto the vehicle and the other onto your hitch. On the vehicle well install one just behind the hitch ball itself. The second one will be installed as far forward as possible.

Enkay Rock Tamers Mud Flap Review - Video
Today we are going to show you the Rock Tamers mud flaps from Enkay, part number ERT00106. The Rock Tamers system is a removable, adjustable mud flap that will protect your trailer from rocks being kicked up from the tow vehicle. It is designed to fit around the 2 inch shank of your ball mount or draw bar. Along the back side of the mud flap are scored premarked lines for cutting the mud flap to fit. According to the instructions, you want to leave about a 3 to 4 inch gab between the bottom of the mud flap and the ground. Once you have trimmed the mud flaps to fit, you will take the included punch and punch out the new holes for your fasteners. We will show you how to do that really quick on the piece of scrap from when we cut our mud flaps earlier. Center the punch on the hole and take a hammer and begin hitting it through the rubber. Make sure you use a piece of wood underneath the rubber so that you do not dull the tip of our punch. Once you have driven the punch all of the way through, you will have a nice clean cut hole for your fasteners to pass through. 1:03 more
