I'll give Fast Eddy a call if the time comes. But there's a couple of people that owe me favors. I'll use those first.
Thanks for the replies folks

As far as u-haul not renting for a FJ40, that is if the FJ40 is going to be used as the tow vehicle.
When i towed mine I used the U-Haul transport. When I told them I was moving a Land Cruiser they didn't want to rent it to me . Told them I was mistaken and was actually moving a VW bug. That worked.
They also had questions about the tow vehicle. Fortunately I had access to a large Chevy pick up.
Not bashing you but that is why U-Haul gets a bad rap. People overload thier poorly maintained trucks and trailers.
The next poor guy who rents it will have problems with it and bash U-Haul about thier "Junk".

Your probably right, but it was one of those big double axle trailers. Seemed to work just fine. I know the Cruiser is heavy for it's size but it's not that heavy.
Howdy! Try backing the FJ40 on the next time you use that size trailer. Then the heavier weight axle will be centered up on the trailer for better balanc. JohnThey didn't give me any hassle and it fit fine. Same deal, they asked me what I was hauling and they said "ROCK ON!". My only complaint is that the wheels on their trailers are just a tad too far back which gives you extra tongue weight. I've used these transports for many different cars and it was like that every time. It worked out great hauling the 40 though. No problems going about 65mph or so. Stopped good, the whole 9...

Howdy! I recon that most vehicles would balance out better than a nose-heavy FJ40, especially with some extra bumper/winch weight. When I moved to Arizona from Wyoming, I cheated. I loaded my FJ40 in the front of a 40' semi trailer, choked the wheels with railroad ties, built a bulkhead of oak pallets, and then loaded my entire household, minus my family and one Oldsmobile station wagon. Now, loading and unloading the FJ40 was a different story! JohnThe instructions on the trailer say "in bold letters" to always load the engine side of the vehicle to the front. I thought about it, but I got scurred.
