Trailer hitch installed today, the hitch was free. Brother number 3 and I modified the mounts to fit the sentra. It was a old u-haul hitch mounted on a Jeep. We welded the hitch to the factory tie down brackets on the sentra, with about 1/16 inch clearance between the reciever and the bottom of the rear bumper cover, tucked in right behind the spare tire well, where it should have no effect on airflow.

I plan on picking up the trailer tomorrow from Harbor Freight tomorrow. They are on sale for $299, 4X8 with 1175 pound capacity and 12 inch wheels.

I'll get some pics up tomorrow after I paint the hitch.

regards
