Let's see your tow rig!!!

[mikebrsa]

old tow rig recently got killed by a 16yr old driver that ran a stop sign so after fighting with the insurance company I finally got a new tow rig.

i have looked at every option.i have a excursion and a open trailer.dont want the buggy on a open trailer,so to buy a enclosed and set it up for weekends of wheeling and sleeping it was not cheap. this rig can sleep in, keep the rig inside,all my tools and have a party place in the back if it rains and can haul 2 rigs inside, then pull a trailer also.so splitting fuel money with others makes the long trips down south alot easier to do. i am really happy to of found this rig.have to get it set up and it should be a sweet hauler.these things are cheap if you shop around.less then a used pickup all day long.

The main thing about debadging mine that's stopping me is the fact that I buy/sell/trade spur of the moment on often occasions...and I really don't want to fawk with putting all that junk back on there a few months or so down the road if something comes up and I decide to sell. I like the option of easily putting it back to stock form which is why I kept factory wheels and used blackouts on the taillights vs. that VHT nightshade stuff to tint them.

Ah, that makes sense.

I plan on keeping my truck 'forever' and just rebuilding/replacing stuff as it needs it. I've had my truck for 3 years and now it's got 180K on it, I average 60K a year and couldn't see myself driving that much in any other vehicle (except maybe a CTS-V, but I ain't got the cash for a Dmax and a V)


Sawzall's truck is BADASS. I see it pretty much every time I'm going through Lafayette drool

I hear ya, mine has 105k miles on it currently. I've had it a year this month and only put just over 11k miles on it...I have a little Saturn I drive to work and other long trips. I just cruise around in ol red if I'm towing or huntin' for .... :****:

****, 60k miles a year = a damn hefty annual fuel bill

[liv2mx]

How wide is you buggy, or whats the inside width in the box, and what are you useing for ramps?? -- Im running 2" on my 78HP60 on 8.5" wide wheels -- i wounder if I could fit in one..

 

[liv2mx]

the door opening is 96. they do make them 101. my buggy is 86 so lot's of room.made some ramps to drive in and out.going to build some stairs also and put in a side door to the box.

 

[TacomaJD]

Little comparison...I got to thinking about removing the molding and debadging....but for some reason I think I like it better with it all on there

added a backglass decal too lol

My '85 F-1fiddy, Windsor, C6, 32"s, 8mpg. Nothing special.

My buddy's '03 3500 competition pulling rig/my out of state crawler hauler. Cummins, 6spd, 18mpg, BIG turbo, modded head and intake, fuel turned up, straight pipe, 22.5"s... Nothing special.
