Really sucks if it fell out and all the gear oil leaked out of your transmission, LOL. How many remember towing home a broke car or worse, pulling a driveshaft in the mud and rain.

I couldn't afford a store-bought tow bar. I made mine from 2"X2" 1/4" angle and my buddy's Lincoln cracker box welder. 4' long, much smoother on lumpy Oklahoma highways than my friend's short ones. You would have to drive on our crap-for-roads to appreciate that.
Pretty sad, you cross the state line leaving Oklahoma in any direction and everything smooths out.
