Damn if I was scared of my towrig I wouldn't go anywhere...

Crash you saw my old tow rig. Good old 78 1 ton chevy with a 350v8 and turbo 400.

So simple if it breaks you can fix it with almost anything. That rig drove down to the Hammers twice, one trip being a round trip hitting Moab on the way home, sold it to a buddy and its still going good with just the usual plugs and wires.

My old 94 IDI Turbo Ford makes it everywhere I want to go. Just have some faith in them and do the maintance and drive....lifes to short to wait for the perfect towrig, trailer, buggy combo.

I have no tow rig and no trailer but I somehow manage to get a trailer only rig to the hills and the dunes :redneck:

I'm in the same boat.....last summer I didn't make it to Naches due to a POS tow rig that I didn't trust up and over the pass.

Now I have RWB back with the 460/C-6/Sterling 10.25 and have been venturing farther and farther away from home....but it's still kinda sketchy and STRESSFULL....

I don't know how people afford buggies,nice tow rig,nice trailer,home,kids,dirtbikes etc.........and don't say HARDWORK I work my ASS off for good $ and still struggle to get by while still wheeling ALOT

Feel proud that your not part of americas financial problem.:awesomework: Thanks:beer:

Spare me Chris

Nothin personal but....been there done that..

On one trip home from a comp in Farmington (N.M.) RWB broke down 13 times....thats no ****ing joke(ask around)...with my wife and dog as my co-pilots..at one point I took the carb apart to clear the jets and float bowl.....my wife sat on the fender and held all the carb parts in her mittened hands....it was snowing like a mofo and we were barely off the interstate at the Utah/Idaho border. I've fixed my towrig SO MANY times on the side of the road,I'm over it......So yeah...I do what I can with what I can afford and at times...it stress's me out.

Damn that'd suck. Guess I've just been lucky so far. I've had minor issues towing but nothing needing to be towed.

I don't go for the finance plans either.

Ya I remember. I also still have my old 74' camper special big block but I prefer to drive decent rigs these days after 20 years of driving junkers. Once the problem is resolved it will be rock solid..

You just have the worst luck with tow rigs--I recall a couple more instances you had to deal with over the years,,
