I have a Blue Ox setupDoes anyone else tack weld the nut to the draw bar? I saw a security demonstration put on by a PD where they were talking about trailer thefts. You can put any draw bar and tongue lock you want on your trailer but all you have to do is just take the chains off put a wrench on the nut on the bottom of the ball. Move it over to another draw bar and just tow the trailer away.
The ball nut is recessed and no way you can get a wrench on it, and even if you could hand wrench it, your gonna have to be the Hulk to get it off.
Had to use an air impact with a 750 ft lb and impact socket to get it tight enough.
