 GTR Trailering Bracket (Upgrade)
Can't break this one. Thinking about making a few in stainless also.
What y'all think?

 Re: GTR Trailering Bracket (Upgrade)
Nice idea, the stock ones don't last long

 Re: GTR Trailering Bracket (Upgrade)
well done looks solid - did you put some "padding" on it like the stock ones?

 Re: GTR Trailering Bracket (Upgrade)
Not sure they don't continue to make them out of aluminum as a fail safe. Rather break a bracket than a hydraulic trim.

 Re: GTR Trailering Bracket (Upgrade)
There is a relief valve for both extend and retract. There is also a release valve incase the unit ever breaks down. You can open that crossover valve and manually move the cylinder.

 Re: GTR Trailering Bracket (Upgrade)
It's definitely overkill, but it's the only material i had to work with. I would try to be as fair as possible the price. I have a great job. Would be cool being able to help people out. Fit and finish will be exceptional also.

 Re: GTR Trailering Bracket (Upgrade)
It must be a tiller thing. I've been having my rig for over two years and have taken many long trips and have had no problems with the GT bracket.
