Rear hitch basket useage - ICE Shack

Yup
I figured it it could hold a transmission off of a VW van (automatic)
then it could hold the weight of an ice shack. So I built a shack
for it. Today we took it out on the road and actually took it ice fishing.
5" of ice so it was nice and thick (for walking and pulling a sled on)
Caught somewhere between 60 and 80 perch. Kept 13 for my
friend's supper (I had already had something in the slow cooker)
Excellent day.
Here's a few pictures.
A little side sway of the actual basket in the reciever but nothing
else too crazy.
