Hitch receivers

[wildthing]

...wildthing, gaano pala katagal magpa-powder coat?

Yung nasa gilid ng Dau exit na powder coating company...next day lang...just bring it ng maaga.

Dapat nga pala clean na yan from old existing paint (na prep na halos).

I was about to fabricate a hitch receiver yesterday. I already got 2 pcs 2.5"x1/4" angle bars to form the square tube. But I noticed that the inner thickness of the angle bar is not the same as the outer thickness, hence, it won't make a perfect inside square which will make my bike rack shake when the vehicle is moving.

So I just went to Dayu in Dau and got his hitch receiver:

yan ba yung tig P4500 na inoffer ni dayu?

[boybi]

Yes. Bale P4200 nalang since hindi ko na pinapaint sa kanya.

[wildthing]

mukhang maganda naman yung yari....no wonder pinagplanuhan mo na iDIY yan...parang simple tingnan...

napagkwentuhan namin ni Dayu, nasa P2000+ na nga yung kuha nyan dun sa US na tubo na yun (he got it the last time he was in US)

[boybi]

Ngek, P2000+ lang pala yun? Sabi nya P3500 daw nya nabili yun kaya ganun ang bigay nya, +labor +bolts +plate kaya naging P4500.

[promdiboy]

boybi mukha ka daw kasi big time kaya mas mataas singil sayo. hehe

maganda naman pagkagawa, pwede pang tapakan pag sasakay ka sa likod. parang bagay lagyan ng step board ng gen 2. sa taas para mas astig.

Buti pa sa Australia, standard na yung hitch receiver:



promdiboy, matibay naman yung bumper, nasubukan ko nang tapakan and kaya naman ako.

[wildthing]

baka sinama nya pamasahe (sa US) kaya umabot P3500....hehehe

pero si Ride (banawe) mas mahal yung ganyan niya .... merun akong nakita dati near P7000, tapos ganyan na ganyan din yung itsura (pang LC nga lang)

Oo nga sa Australia halos lahat ng sasakyan stock na yung hitch (pati yata oto merun).

Kelan ba nag US si Dayu? Baka P26:1USD pa ang exchange rate noon
