I stole a Hensley!

At least it feels that way. I was keeping my eye open for a 4" drop stinger to swap my 2" with, when I saw one at my local dealer. They had just taken a trade in with the Hensley attached and the stinger was hanging in it. The owner had never seen one until he saw mine. I asked him if he'd be interested in swapping stingers and he said sure no problem, made no difference to him. Bingo, saved myself $120 for a swap.

Then I got thinking about the hitch. I know the dealer isn't very familiar with the Hensley and can't move the trailers around with it on, he usually calls me for help, so they are a hassle for them. Plus they won't get much for it selling it with the trailer. I asked if he wanted to sell the whole thing. After some thought he figured it was worth $400. I left it. Came back later and talked him down to $200!

It looked like this to start.



Some stripping, cleaning, paint, re-assembly, and new stickers it looks new again.


Couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

How did you turn it into parts for a Toyota? Very clever!
