Lippert frames
Been towing for 30 years, but never heard of a Lippert frame. Seems like most of the comments are negative. So, what is a Lippert frame?

It's neither here nor there, but I once had a long conversation with a broker over drinks about what Lipperts buyers look for when they go out shopping materials.....I won't go deeply into it, but will just say they apparently go looking for what others are not looking for, if you get my drift.
I've virtually no knowledge of all this stuff since I was just an end user of various material being a machinist. But to your above point, I had heard from a supplier when I was still working ( I retired in 2010 ) that one of the problems the industry was seeing was a lot of scrap iron coming out of India was of alloys that were at times inappropriate and substandard. Old scrapped ships etc. No idea how true it might have been, but when it comes to product out of places like that and china, my guess is anything is possible.
