Inexpensive trailer hitch

Also, this piece of wood is only a 2"x2" and by putting the notch on the top, all the load of the trailer is carried by a 1"x2" piece of wood with a cut.

I can't see the trailer hitch on the toyota but I think it is made with wood.

Aye Carumba! At least they realized the beam orientation correctly.

"Aye Carumba! At least they realized the beam orientation correctly."

On the site where I stole this, someone added that if they had put the beam the other way it wouldn't capsize. I feel sure it was in jest.

I didn't look closely, but this is certainly a "what's wrong with this picture".

Maybe they put the beam that way so they could get some extra height on the lift. The beam does look like it has a sag and it doesn't look like an optical illusion...

re: in jest. We know that; not convinced it's anywhere near universal. There's plenty of content web wide to make a convincing argument. The net has spread plenty of believable [to some] nonsense, as seen by others.
I'm reporting a bank spam email right now. All very legitimate looking, minimal in awkward phrases/ spelling/ punctuation. The single real questionable facet; the return address; not xxxx@.com but xxxx@-com.
That's all it would take, user name, account number, password, current balance.....Poof!

Examining their 'link' to account recovery, reveals this [altered to make inactive] hteeheep://hack.cs.uwindsor.ca/includes/trutruttrut/
Relatively certain that ain't my bank, probably not anyone's but scammer themself.
Sorry, NO deposit!
