This thread is dedicated to all the things that get pulled with our 60's.

My 81' 60 has pulled:
Dad's 1969 Chevy Saburban
Sister's 1993 Murcury Tracer (blew the timing belt then I had to fix it :mad:)
Dad's 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X with 3.5" lift and 35" KM2's :D(got stuck trying to go over a snow-bank )
my 1983 Porsche ( I just wanted to take it around the block to warm it up but around the first corner in our neihborhood I slid into someone's front yard so I had to pull myself out. Idaho winters suck.)
Fence posts (they were cemented four feet down, but I got the Beast to do a 3-wheel burnout!)
Brother-in-law's Bronco: (got the distributor wet in the middle of wheeling)

My cruiser has pulled:

Jeeps
FJ40's
4runners
a little 1500 silverado that rear ended me and got stuck to my bumper
:cheers:
 
Pulled my buddies 94' 1500 2wd chebby many times, through the snow drifts.
A 02' LandRover Disco twice cause it broke.
A 00' Kia Rio off a telephone pole (ouch)
Many different rigs out of stucks on the trail (my favorite was a stuck jeep that was following a group of Cruisers)
Mine has been pulled out of a few stucks itself
 
I've loaded up my trailer and pulled misc. stuff (carpet, wood splitter, furniture, etc.) 1300 miles round trip. For heavy stuff I mostly pull a trailer full of wood. In a week or two I'll be loading up a bunch of moss rocks and tow those down to CA when I visit family and bring back more stuff from a family members move up here.

When I still sported the 2F I loaded up paver stones (calculated 1st load 3500lbs, 2nd load 4000lbs) that we got for free. Axles road on the bump stops and we only travelled a short distance.
 
I've pulled a tent trailer, my '72 FJ-40, and currently a M-116A2 military trailer.

Edit: ...and fence posts.
 
20 foot Glastron with Mercruiser,fj-62,16 foot loaded with construction material. Mike
 
I pull around my M416, but I've rescued countless cars and trucks from the snow on northeast roads :D
 
Like a dumb ass, I used to tow with my fist FJ-60 a lot. I had a tow bar on my FJ-40 and I would flat tow it to the trail. Crazy.

I towed this duck boat a lot and used to play in the mud :rolleyes:

Gotta find those flat-tow pics for the BIG laugh.

I've towed other Land Cruisers, a boat, a couple of Jeeps, a pop-up trailer I rented, and a trailer with a 2F on it. A 60 is NOT a good tow vehicle but gets the job done.

I towed a huge diesel pusher motorhome with my 80 series last year at Surf and Turf.
 
One of my best pulls .. min 6 or so ..

YouTube - Tencha en Ciri 2005

Long time ago .. no need to add that this guy, was laughing all the day coz he had a uber 350 with all HP inside and I was only with my old and NA ( was no turbo at this time ) 2H ..
 
flat towing the 40 to a cruiser show...highway speeds no problem

also towed a buddys heep to my place to fix....twice.

little trailer a few times too, but not often.

same trailer full of all our possetions when we moved

I know it ain't a Cruiser, but today I pulled my zero turn mower out of the flooded ditch I slid into in my front yard, with my Honda Prelude
 
My friend out of the side of a field... U-turn gone bad (hello - that side of the road was swamp, other side was dry...).
