What did you do in your shop today?

Finished 3600 miles of testing out the tow bar. Worked great!  Things to improve upon it.  Needed my hitch stabilizer clamp for the back of the truck. I think some of the swaying would have been reduced with that. Not a single damn one to be found driving back for 3 days. I have 2 at the shop.  Grooved pavement made it sway as it turns out, where it tried to track the grooves. My front upper right torsion arm that I have a replacement for in fact needs replacement. I knew something was wrong with it, bent or something, which has too much camber for the suspension specs.  As a result that tire wore badly on the inside.

Torsion bar on the Bus or the truck?

Glad to hear it went well - for once! Where did you leave the truck while you were at BM?

12mpg towing sounds about right, the best my Tundra of that year ever did was 17. Curiously, the next one I got which was considerably bigger, heavier and had a bigger V-8 with way more HP, got the same mileage - 17 - whether I was just cruising or towing a trailer.

I needed this on the truck hitch connection sideways to keep the hitch receiver left and right movement to 0. Any slop in the system multiplies swaying once it starts. What is maybe 1/8" of play at the hitch becomes a lot extended 16 feet out. 

Left the truck at the hotel in Fallon for a week after talking with them.

I have one of those hitch stabilizers on my Subaru.  Even in the upright position, it totally locks the hitch in place.
