 over 1,000 here putting this class 3 the old Toyota so we can pull the boat one step closer stay tuned I'll show you step-by-step how to put one of these on one of these Tacomas pretty easy just got to pull the bumper off hang tight and I'll be right back with you first thing we're gonna do is just like we did when we changed the bumper put this up here out of the way so there's two on each side in case you didn't see the the bumper video now the hitch is going to go right up in between the bumper and the frame and it's gonna get bolted on with this hardware here then we're gonna have a bolt come up through here on each side so it's gonna have six bolts holding it on okay rather than just four for the bumper I don't like them bumper mounts never did but it's all we had at the time so I had a couple extra bucks I ordered for a trailer hitch it's from Kurt like I said in the beginning it is a class 3 trailer hitch 2-inch insert I do believe also got this for I wanted to get a lighted one but Jesus man hello that it's a 2-inch receiver this is your receiver your insert everybody just calls it a hitch it's not the hitch this is the hitch this is your receiver your insert is the piece that slides in to hold your ball on okay this is for your safety chains that's where you hook your safety chains at all right so there's where the bolts are going to come up through to the bottom of the frame here's a very detailed tells you exact exactly what to do it tells you the shoot it tells you the torque specs what the torque mat I just use I'll just be using my gun right there it tells you there the M12 fasteners 86 pound feet foot pounds half inch fasteners to 110 foot pounds hi I'm not gonna need these but you guys might it will come with this now if you open up the box and you don't see a bag of bolts and stuff what they do is they'll stick them in here they'll tape them all up into a little baggy they'll be stuck in there and wrapped around with plastic so if you don't see them don't be alarmed that's where they'll be up in that hole right there okay and these are powder coated I put a lot of these Kurt hitches on I like them I used to like Reese a lot but I think I'm kind of sold on these Kurt hitches they're all pretty much custom as you can see this will fit all 1995 to 2004 Toyota to come as it will fit all of them there's your park numbers if you want to order one okay it was like a hundred forty bucks guys can't beat that for a class three when they wanted you know 250 some for a class two two hundred dollars for class one I mean did we need the class three no this thing's never gonna pull a car you know but it's very versatile it'll pull anything that the truck can pull is what I guess what I'm trying to say it'll definitely pull that boat all right guys let me get my tools down here and let's get them bolts out okay guys what I did was I took one out here and one out on the other side and the other two all I had to do was loosen okay because I'll show you this thing should slide out of here now it's really helps if you got a buddy because these things aren't real like and see if it's got so it's got these on here so I'm gonna set this aside I'm gonna go up here and I'm gonna get the hitch and I'm gonna put it in the same way that this just came out I'm gonna slide it up in now that hitch weighs 48 pounds so be careful if you're doing by yourself then I'm gonna get these bolts started to hold the hitch up and then I'm gonna put the bumper in and we'll put these bolts in right right there I'm gonna show you what these do okay see how I got that make sure that's the flat parts down on the frame what these do they go up inside this and they keep that boat from turning okay so I'm gonna go ahead and start them that way once I get the hitch up in there I can start my nuts on and you're gonna want to go with the bolt turns gonna be turning that way when you tighten it that way when you tighten okay so let me get the hitch down here is I've got to get my that's slotted there's one up there you can see how far off it is so what I'm gonna do get these holes lined up and get a bolt started in them then I'll tighten these ones up so this doesn't so the hitch doesn't move then I just slide the bolt the bumper right in bolt it up okay guys got that one started started and I went ahead and tighten them so this does not move put our bumper on which we shouldn't have an issue because those will go right through also looks about like where the nut where the nut was on the clean spot since this bumper has them slotted deals right here they're slotted I'm gonna go out there I'm gonna slide that bumper onto that bolt and then I'll come down raise it up and get these two bolts in get these two bolts in okay so I'm gonna set you outside here and I'm gonna put the bumper on then we'll snug it all down these tabs right here supposed to go in this in these slotted holes here okay you can take these off of this bumper brackets on then put the bumper on then adjust it or you can bend them down I'm gonna try to take these brackets off and put them on if it doesn't want to work right that way you can just cut these off that's what I would do is just grind them off grind it all flat but first I'm gonna try to go ahead and take the burr the brackets off get them started on then we'll bolt the bumper onto the brackets okay so I took this bracket off over here as you can see and these just didn't want to line up with them slotted holes they had so I'm just gonna cut them off it's not gonna hurt a thing guys relax because you're not gonna be putting any kind of weight on that bumper it's all gonna be on the hitch anyway so I'm gonna get this one cut off and we'll stick the bumper back up in there again and I started the other two on both sides I'm gonna tighten them up and we should be ready rock and roll okay guys there it is it's all done need to get a cap for that and it or something except for one thing insert thing in there that won't come out how they make they make mounts for these where you mount them up here on your bumper or wherever and plugs in there I just always put mine right there won't catch on anything let's get the rust out you know so there it is everything's all nice and tight as you can see it's not that noticeable unless you got your insert still in there these trailer hitches cause more harm to people than guns I think walk around here and you forget your inserts in there and you bang your knee so it'll be coming out when we're not pulling the trailer there it is information five thousand pound gross trailer weight pound tongue weight six thousand pound weight distribution six hundred pound weight tongue or WD so we'll never be pulling anything heavier than that over there so we're not gonna be pulling campers or anything like that it's always good to have a class three hitch you know $50 $25 to $50 more you get a class three all right guys here you go I'm gonna plug my license plate lights in and I'm gonna sign off shipper 1000 that's how you put a hitch on a 95 to 2004 Toyota Tacoma all models I know they they call them direct fit sometimes you might have to do a little fabricating like a lot of the fords it will tell you no drilling like this one will say no drilling but a lot of fords you'll have to enlarge the holes which is drilling and those tabs all there for is really to hold that bumper while you get your bolt started when you're putting it on they do nothing so it's alright if you just want to cut them off if they fit in them holes that's fine but they probably won't just go ahead and cut them off doesn't hurt a thing it doesn't do anything to the structure of your bumper besides if somebody hits you or hits us again they're just going to you know they're gonna wipe out the front of their truck or car or whatever they hit was because that class three hitch is on there pretty good but anyway that's how you do it I know I didn't show you tightening bolts but you get it you know I don't want to bore people that sometimes I show it and off speed it up but you know to me that's boring okay you get it you took them bolts out now they got to go in so anyway hopefully this will help someone hit different things I'm not positive like some for runners or and stuff like that or are pretty close I know if you can get one off of a off of a Toyota Tacoma about the same year of you might want to look it up but I'm pretty sure the for runners I think it's the for runners that it'll it'll she'd have to do just check your holes measure your holes and I think it'd be alright but 1995 to 2004 Toyota Tacoma alright guys I'm sitting in the truck cooling down a little bit it's raining just beat the rain and I just kind of threw my toys up in here so I got to get them out for monkey I'll do them a little bit later and we'll chat it you guys soon so thanks for watching guys shabery commitment legend gone for now y'all be cool and hopefully this helps so enjoy the rest of your week and be safe guys bye bye and take care
