Ed, add Lance Long to the needs space list.

If you don't know him, he owns Creative Audio in Bryan and he was on the last run of 8runner in Clayton a few years back.

Scotti, I noticed you're headin up that Night. I could wait up for you and give you a tow up if you needed.

I appreciate the offer & may take you up on it. It kind of depends on my vehicle situation - if I end up with a badass new tow vehicle, I'll probably take it, but I likely won't have it yet.

That said, if we really are going to plan on this we need to hook it up here in town and see how it really tows. Despite what I said above, there really isn't much difference between your max capacity and what this weighs, and from past experience, when you get even close to max capacity towing can be stressful and take some skill. Have you towed with the H3 before?

I was kinda hopin to put it up under the gn in the bed if it will fit. It will have a harder time 'walking off' if I park right.

That or just put it in the back of the beast. On Board Welder!!!

Sweet - we'll be talking both rigs them... Time to get to work, the Patrol is still in pretty rough shape from the last trip up there. Lynda needs a windshield...

robertf03

is it a yj or cj windshield?

I've still got my CJ windshield sitting around. the bolt flange things are in different places, they use different seals, and there are defroster ducts.

It's a YJ - I have a new frame, just have to fix some of the dents that it came with from shipping and then paint it.

well if you've yanked someone out with a chain you're 3/4ths of the way there!

I agree with Jerry, I think you are ready for the big rigs. Hey if you guys want I will see if you can borrow my friend Ron's Death Trailer.

The Death Trailer fish tails if you just look at it. I once launched a 1990 minivan off the back of it. It is super sweet.

I'd love to get together for a learning lesson though if you're up.
832-693-8086. If I can't get to it, I'm probably in class, so just leave me a message.

I don't mind giving you a trailering lesson whether we end up using it on the trip to Clayton or not... lets talk when it gets closer or maybe we can try it out on a local trip to 47 or something.

hey CJ you guys don't happen to have an extra spot on a trailer from dallas to clayton and back do you? I would really appreciate it as this would be the perfect solution.
