Re: Long distance towing with a car dolly
Not a whole truck.But,I hauled a frame 1,100 miles on a dolly..Would have been fine if the seller would have told me things were only finger tight.About half way home the rear end locked up because the pinion nut backed off and trashed the ring and pinion.I had to turn it around and tow it backwards with too much toe-in,which was toe-out towing backwards.Needless to say,it was a white knuckle ride with alot of ratchet strap adjustments.And,a trashed pair of tires that I provided.Once home a castle nut fell of the center link while pushing it in my shop.Could have been disasterous.Had I known I would have rented a trailer or brought tools to finish the assembly.
