Your family takes Autoxing very seriously. Very nice setup indeed. Is that you Carville, hiding behind that 8"x8" support post?

 

Autocross, track days, 1/4 mile and more, we fully enjoy our Crossfires. Yes, I figured the objective for the photos was to show CJ's gear. The hitch alignment with the 12" wheeled trailer is perfect. The wiring provided with the Harbor Frieght trailer is so long that it allowed us to place the connection tie point in the trunk.

 

Color code guide for wiring hookup would be helpful for me when you send the hitch, if you don't mind.

 

I'd like to order one of these.....

How do I go about ordering one?

No problem at all.

 

Trailer to Crossfire wiring for 4 and 5 wire connectors:

Trailer Wires --------------- Crossfire Wires
1. Green (right turn signal) -- Orange in right trunk
2. Yellow (left turn signal) --- Orange in left trunk
3. Brown (running lights) ----- Red either left or right trunk
4. White (ground) ------------ Brown, ground nut on either wheel well
5. Blue (brake light) ----------- Green either left or right trunk

If you use the Harbor Frieght Trailer you will need to add brake lights with a 5 wire connector or use a tail light converter with a 4 wire connector because the Crossfire has seperate Brake and Turn Signal wires. We used the 5 wire connector and brake lights for our set up.

 

Thank you for the wiring info., will save time, and much appreciated. I'm purchasing my receiver and drawbar for this and wanted to confirm that the height using that Harbor Freight trailer is on the money with your sons new set up, or could it be up or down an inch or ?? for a level trailer. I'd like to buy the right drawbar at the same time I order my receiver. I'm not interested in the big bulky adjustable ones.

 

Bob, you gonna tow some bitchin' race tires to the AX events this season?

 

Ha, hey Steve. I've got another season w/ my current R-11's. I'm just getting the cart for the horse for when I do get a second set. I'm happy in street class. It's hard enough trying to catch you and those two wicked built Camaros; not ready to jump up to R class yet.

 

I think the height with the 12" tire trailer is spot on. When CJ gets home I will check it with a level and let you know if there is any adjustment to be zero bubble.

 

Using a level, it looks as if the trailer hitch should be 2" lower to be perfectly level with the 12" wheeled ebay trailer. Hope this helps you prep your set up.

 

Remember this is for light weight use. Class 1 reciever and bar is what your looking for, anything else is waisted money and added weight.

 

Understood. I'll be welding this under the crossbars. 1-1/4" x 6" receiver tube | eBay

 

Hi Carville, I want to thank you for this great package I recently received. My expectations were surpassed with this package deal. The quality of the welds, finish, and all the included hardware are top rate. I will have no concern with the strength of this work of art; great job. I appreciate that you did this for cost. I'm seeing the fabrication hours involved, and this is an exceptional value. I look forward to getting it installed this summer, thanks again.
Bob

 

Bob,
Give me a call before you get ready to install, I can save you a few steps of not removing things that you can get around.

For the others waiting on a hitch, the last of them will ship tomorrow.

 

I have been looking at your hitch.....I have one question about the weight limits....how did you come up with them.....I need something that can handle 1200 lbs.

 

Papas - The Crossfire hitch is only bolted to the thin metal of the trunk pan, their is no frame. The Crossfire manual states that the car is limited to 500LBS of load including passengers and baggage. So, I have set a personnal limit of 500LBS including the weight of the trailer and material. If you decide to put 1200LBS behind your Crossfire, you are at your own risk.

 

All packages have been shipped.

 

hey there I live in canada and I am interested in the hitch.
