Tow Rigs - Lets discuss (5 Viewers)

[Volunteer]

Congrats on the rig! I love that motor.

Thanks bud I've always been a fan myself so I guess I'll see whats its like to own one and see if I'll remain a fan

Its all good bud, looked at the MegaCabs while shopping, but of course money was a key part of the purchase.
That trailer would be cool to get a hold of, I'll take a spot for Moab if other members don't.

You got it. I certainly understand on the rigs I don't feel any of them are worth what they sell for new. I'm gonna check the trailer out next week it would sure be nice to have access to that for upcoming events. I know they pull it with two Dodge 1 ton monsters all tricked out so I hope its not to heavy for the 3/4.

well cool larry , ! ya can pull all ya right at once now lol

Or give a friend or two a ride so they can make it

put a supply pump monitor on it!

I'll get you to educate me on this, would also like a tranny temp gauge.

Yea you could say that. The plan is to build the 74 to be my permanent trail rig but you never know with me. I enjoy the laid back approach of the 80 too. I'm wrapping up the 78 and will jump on the 67 next would like to take it out to Sicily for the Nov trip if I can have it ready

 

[kjnarmyfj]

Very nice Paul, glad to hear it made it home How'd Donna say it pulled behind the 100?

I hitched the 40 behind the O'Mega Saturday am to haul it home grinning ear to ear pretty much sums it up. 70 with the cruise on at 1600 RPMs The exhaust brake startled me for a second coming to a stop because I didn't have the button engaged that was a first but see that coming in handy in the MTN's.

Donna said on her trip up she made 17/19 MPG

and back down 13/14 MPG now that is with cases of root beer/real bear in the back didn`t pick up the trailer till southern MO .
so not sure she wanted to get home and unpack, will find out more details.
