[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 490129, member: 22613"] Surely you have a metal supply/recycler near you. There's no reason why you couldn't walk out with a chunk of square tubing for less than $20. Either go slightly over/under size so the new tongue slips in/over the old one, drill and cross bolt. Two 3/8" bolts with big washers and nylocks will hold it just fine. You could either reuse the coupler/hitch or just replace it. They aren't that expensive and they do wear out. Once you do this, if it's wired with the trailer frame as ground, it would be wise to run a new ground wire since the connection between the tongue sections will likely be unreliable. [/QUOTE]
