I've been looking at his articulating trailer hitch build.  I'm using a few of his ideas for my own build.

Why wouldn't you just go with a pintle style hitch instead of going to the trouble of building a custom rubberized universal joint?

It's not going to be a rubber joint...  I've had pro and con discussions with people about pintle hitches.  I'll leave that debate for another thread.  Back to topic at hand.

Ever pulled a pintle-hitch trailer down a road with frost heaves when your tow vehicle is as light as a Jeep?

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(
