That looks good Ron, but i sell cars, not build them. Iam not to good with fabrication work and things like that, but will keep it in mind. Planing on trying to something soon, thanks for your input, will let you know how it turns out.

You guys get me...Not putting you down as we need people that can't or won't work on things. They give the ones that can and do a job. Your reply reminds me of Susan's brother. Now don't get me wrong, he a master electrician, it is just that ......well you will see in the pictures.:banghead

Leak under sink.

Guess who fixed it.

Thought this was funny, as my Dad had a saying when my brother was young. He say....yea you'd hold the lantern while Mom chops the wood.

Jan grew up on a farm (two brothers and a sister) and there is just about NOTHING she won't tackle, including ....well as far as mechanics she reminds me of Lisa, in the movie "My Cousin Vinny"

I see your point...this took me a couple of hours to make. I had to drill22 holes. Made it so I could remove the crew box and generator, slide in and strap my 9' Bass Tracker boat back there. Now I have to remove and paint it.

I have a 91 Miata (which is showing some age :0 ). I have purchased a few things from this company. They carry a hitch that is supposed to be a bolt on for a Miata. Here is a link:

Ok, i have got alot of good info here, (thanks Ron) but now i cant find the kind of rod holders i wanted to use ? I thought i could get plastic (fiberglass) ones that had a bolt in the backside so they just would bolt on, the only ones i can find are the ones that have a "U" clamp and bolt on each side. I dont trust the clamp, does not look strong enough, and i am not willing to risk my rods like that, rember they will be hanging over highway behind my cherokee. Short of useing steel pipe welded on , i am at a lost now....:banghead
