My boss has a 2000 model 4x4 Off-Road 4.0 ext cab.
It has a level III reciever hitch (square tube)
mounted to frame.
Today we hooked it to a hay bailor to bring it to field, and I said hey "donny" (a guy I work with.... ) is it me or is the reciever bent.
he replies "well i seen it the other day when I was pulling the hay wagon you were riding, but didn't think nothin of it )
anyways, I crawled under, and the rear bolts in the frame were used as a pivot point, and the front (towards the cab) bolts have torqued up and collapsed the frame C chanel (i believe its a c there)
anybody experience this? anybody have any ideas to fix it........
we are prolly going to take it to a local machine shop and have em it, but I want to make it safe for me the next time I am pulling an ANNHYDROUS wagon that could kill me, and wipe out a mile of onlookers.
