Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is a new video with some new information about my NewArt trailer hitch mod for the Boxster 986 or 987 (also 911s and Caymans). I think you'll like it! :dance: https://youtu.be/9YJJI3MjU-4

POST 2Original post

Excellent. Just what I wanted to see. I got a sailboat as the follow up project now that the Boxsterado is done. I most likely am going to pull it around with my truck, but since my boxster has the same engine as my truck I thought about making a hitch. I didn't even think of just using the bumperettes as a place to mount a hitch. For the nay sayers. Its not a big sail boat its a sunfish. So don't worry I don't think hitch load is even gonna be an issue. I did make a cool monoshock trailer for the boat out of an old rear end and a random strut from a car. Along side some square steel tubing that I used to make the subframe for the Porsche.
