Trailer hitch arrived yesterday and Eric and I decided to install it. We watched the video on www.etrailer.com and it looked simple enough. Took off the panel they showed and took of the one on the passenger side of the car too. Everything was going just fine and we got the hitch up there hanging with all six bolts. Lets put those panels back up. So we started to do it on the passenger side of the car. No they don't fit. Take the bolts off the that side and loosen the bolts on the drivers side so the hitch would lower down a bit. got it back in there. The video doesn't show it and I don't think they mentioned it but you don't have to really remove the panel on the passenger side of the car. Finally got it back in place and got the bolts all put back and tighten down. Upon reviewing the video again it sort of sounds like they just throw away the driver side panel but we aren't sure. Looking for answers to this now. As you can tell it looks great from the outside.
Hopefully the underside will look great again too. Maybe tomorrow or Sunday we will get to the wiring harness. An RX400h uses LED lights so we have a special harness that has to be installed which is fed from the battery! Lots of wires to work with but I am confident we will succeed!
Added a little more to the barn with new posts and wall plate on the outside part of the barn. Also put in the ridge board on the main part of the barn. Should be able to make some progress in the next couple days. Lots of nice weather is in store here.
