So - once, while drinking beer, I was told (so I know it has to be true); resist the urge to drill in to or through and resist using those self-tapping screws to the maximum extent possible on your trailer's tongue.
Kind of like drilling holes through the floor joists of a house. MIGHT weaken structural integrity. Most likely not - but, drilling in to makes a hole. Holes let in air/moisture etc. which can cause places to rust. That's assuming your frame is a rectangular steel channel tube, not some sort of steel channel or H or I steel beam.
So-exercise caution before drilling. . . Just saying.
Personally, if I can bolt it on, I would do that over welding. Reason is that welds will break under vibration more readily than securing something with bolts. That is why the tell you to bolt on a hitch instead of welding it on.
Seriously nice work.
"Keep the honest, honest" isn't that the truth? Nothing a cordless grinder can't cut - but helps us believe we did that little something extra so we can tell the cops our stuff didn't just walk away when we're filling out the police report for stolen stuff.
Nice John!!
