How come the the upper cross timber looks like a nail is half way pounded in then bent over when the photo from Torklift shows it bolted through?
With just nails, the lateral strength is non-existent! It would not be hard to shove that thing over I would think, if the jacks weren't down. Bolted, not so much. A single nail bent over, yeah.
I'm glad to see the jacks deployed for stabilization, so maybe a nail bent over isn't an issue

****EDIT****
Wait a minute, another photo on the Torklift site doesn't show a bolt like the first photo I saw and posted. It looks like a hitch pin;

I'm guessing from this Torklift photo, that it is a hitch pin, because this one looks like a bent nail too;
