Goodbye White Bastard... (1 Viewer)

Dear W.B.

I bought you for $120... From some slacker snowboard kid in Mt. Shasta. I took all the good stuff that I wanted, and sold parts of you off for $2-300 then I rented a trailer and hauled you to the scrapper and made $52 getting rid of you.... I feel kind of bad for using you like that... So to your eternal memory I dedicate this thread....

and screw the guys at the scrap yard! It took me an hour and a half to get you on that trailer, and it took them 20 seconds to get you off of it!

My truck, trailer, and WB weighed 9220 lbs.... I also feel bad about doing that to the poor 4 cylinder in The Caird.... But it took it well...

Also, I named you White Bastard cause I didn't care about you and got lazy.... also you're white... like Nick...

i have to laugh, only out of sympathy of being in those situations.
did you hi lift that thing all the way on the trailer? if so, that definitely sucks.
harbor freight is going to be having a good deal on a 2500 lb winch soon for like 50$
we are picking one up to use with the dolly.

I was able to back the trailer about half way under it with some jockeying and then about 5 rounds with the high lift to drag it on... Wasn't too bad...

Familiar trailer, looks like it gets plenty of club use.

It does look like Jesse's trailer... but I rented that trailer... It probably would have cost the same in gas to borrow his as it did to rent it... I need a trailer... and a truck to pull it...

toyotas are awesome for everything except towing.

god knows i have towed some really dumb loads with mine.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Yeah... 9000 lbs with WB... I drove the whole 4 miles to the recyclers in low range (The Caird is sporting a stock case again...) with the hubs unlocked...

That's one of the reasons I went with 3/4 tons and a V8. I didn't want to be limited by power or weight capacity. I've thought about getting rid of my truck and just using my 55 but the brakes leave a little to be desired with those tires.

 

[mobydick]

No air brakes installed on that thing? Just throw out an anchor and put your foot out.

Downshift and hope!!! I don't usually tow much, and there were no hills on the way to the recycler...
