...the problem i think was, the inner bearing actually wore out the part between the inner/outer bearings in the rotor until it was gone, and the rotor actually became free floating on the way to truckhaven...

...the hitch is great...now if the tranny could match the hitch, lol...

...it is nice to have one drop hitch and be able to use different trailers but also adjust your height when it's loaded or empty...
