Anybody have a trailer I may be able to use sunday? R compounds on the SHO @ NYIRP. I am either running 13’s or I’m breaking something, most likely an axle.

This has been asked 4-5 times in the past couple of months… no one ever offers.

I tried myself about 2 weeks ago.

Might I suggest Uhaul for $30’ish.

When/if I sell my car, I’m buying a truck and trailer.

Then I will profit.

:ohnoes:

buh-bye half shafts!

and in the context of being helpful, definitely go with u-haul as you can get all the straps 'n such that you’ll need, plus their trailers are up to snuff. see if you can get a two-wheel dolly, throw the front end up, and away you go. will also come in handy after the night is over 😉

Find a decent cheap one, I’ll split it with You.

I’ve been debating it for months. I’ve towed 6 cars around town with just tow straps over the last year… but that requires someone to steer/brake the other vehicle and is generally alot less safe & rougher on the other vehicle.

Have class III & 5k lb limit, will tow. BYOTrailer.

Like:

Anyhow, Yea, You can still dolly tow an AWD. My old GrandCherokee was AWD (not 4wd) and the tow truck would lift the front wheels, and then lift the rears with a _DOLLY_

my car has plastic on the bottom… like the bumper, rocker panels, everything but the hood, fenders, and roof.  
When you jack up the front of a vehicle the rear end slopes closer to the ground. When you try to get a dolly under the vehicle at this time, it won’t fit… and a jack (the lifting kind) won’t fit either. Your plan sucks, and your POS was made to pull my trailer… not a dolly. Unless there was a dolly in the trailer… then we’ll take turns hittin it.
