reply #2 shows the unit I bought ($120) and I used engine (running) to get up the ramp.. had a spotter but did not need help.
I cut off the welded stop-plate to allow the unit to slide 2" deeper into the receiver hitch (increasing strength)
only had to remove RH mirror after this alteration

Glad it all worked out like you had planned. It is good that you shortened the shaft and moved it closer.....leverage is not your friend in this instance.

I have not driven yet so we will see if it worked out...LOL
1300 miles (one way) spending the summer in NM (near El Paso)
cleared 10 acres, trucked-in a doublewide, wife and kids coming..
was going to ride out but I would need to carry too much gas to get through western texas.. not many towns beyond San Antonio

UPDATE:

Just take it easy until you get used to the quick turns in the mountains. It's a lot of fun.

thanks buddy..
first long ride was today in Cloudcroft NM..
pretty lady riding a BMW invited me to follow, tried to keep that long flowing blond hair of hers in my sights but the cliff edges alongside the road distracted me (must be getting old)
those hard lean-overs from left to right come lightening fast, surely my riding skills will improve faster if more pretty ladies invite me to follow

I was stationed at Holloman AFB back in the early 80's and went riding up there a lot, camping also, really nice area.
Loved the skiing in the winter and the camping in the summer, roads were almost always in good shape and riding was a joy.
Dang... I might have to follow suit and do what you did....find me a place along the bottom of the mountain range and make a vacation home outta it.
