My friend is going on a long road trip in his pickup. He is taking the mountain bikes but he can't open the tailgate without getting the bikes out of the way. He asked me if I could make a receiver that would swing out of the way. I know these are commercially available but it seemed like a good project and I had the 2" tubing so....

First real project on the new mill!

Made some bushings for the hinge:
