yay. the long awaited junkyard trip to get the rear bumper cover for my TW, as my Dad scoped out a near perfect rear bumper the other day there, so off we go today.

got the rear bumper cover, near perfect, wrong color though. It's white, i needed winestone, but it is darn near perfect, including the chrome strips and the black rubber molding. Plus they gave me 3 bucks core for my old cover, and got this one for 24.99

got a set of PERFECT mint sun visors (grey vinyl), only 6.50 total including the clips screws, etc. I only need the passenger side, and i wiill have the drive side up for grabs if the price is right lol A set of these in this condition regulary bring 40 bucks or more on Ebay........

got a rear "hidden hitch with the curved area for our mufflers. only 14 dollars, the thing weighs nearly 50 pounds and is rated for 3500 lbs according to the sticker, it has surface rust, but i will fix that. This may come in handy when i have to get a different riding lawn mower this spring, or for the odd trailer hauling jobs, which I probably will never mount it until needed. Hope i never need it though, but i will have it just in case. It didnt come with ball, but i have one laying around i think.

got a spare radiator hose upper, in good shape for a buck. lol i may carry this for a spare. never know when need one.

got a purge control solenoid valve price unknown :) forgot to take it out of my bag when i paid for the stuff.

I got a coil for spare, it was 11, i should have not got that, seems kinda high for price, especially since i dont know how good it is.

miscellaneous things for other people on here. YAY.

The Twgn manual states that with any hitch the max towing capacity is 2000 pounds :(
