Does anyone have a car trailer?
I received a message from Vanessa (RockNRoll4x4) and she broke her rear diff up at Ardbeg today. Her and Aaron are hitching a ride back tomorrow (Sunday) but will have to head back up with their other truck to pick up the FJ. Is there anyone that can lend them a car trailer to bring it back?

Re: Does anyone have a car trailer?
Good lord.
I'd check over on Jeep Kings. Our trucks aren't very receptive to car trailers, and I doubt anyone here has one. But there's lots of guys on JK who have dollies and trailers... Post there.
As an edit: Ardberg has been brutal this year to trucks. From what I have been reading on trail runs up there, it's been BIG eat truck parts trail. Axles, diffs, steering, tranny-eating mayhem, and leaf springs turned around backwards...

Re: Does anyone have a car trailer?
yowch! good luck to them, I hope they get her home. They might be just as well to get it to the road and call someone with CAA+ which is good for 200km I think.

U-haul trailer or dolly? They look like they're around $50/day before they tack any extra fees on them.

Re: Does anyone have a car trailer?
Thanks for the posts and info guys. Funny enough i did post up on J/K and suggested the u-haul trailer thing.
I just heard from them. A guy up there has agreed to trailer them back so they'll be able to do it all in one shot instead of a couple of trips.
Good to see wheelers helping each other out despite the brand choice!

Good on you Dave, for trying to find her and Aaron a way home. I'm sure they'll agree; proud to call you a friend!

Wow, i hope it didn't come across like that! I meant the guy who had a trailer was probably a Jeep guy and it was good to see him helping out some Toyota people.Good to see wheelers helping each other out despite the brand choice!

Missi was @ Ardbeg this weekend, I assume with them...
Interesting to hear about the trail being truck hungry, I love that trail.

Re: Does anyone have a car trailer?
Obviously I wasn't on any of those runs that I speak of, but there's been carnage. A well-built TJ needed not one but two UCAs shipped up to get out of the trail, several axles, one D35, but another bigger, and I saw a pic of water that tore a motor in two.Pezzy wrote:Missi was @ Ardbeg this weekend, I assume with them...

Not sure why, but I'm thinking just a little too much skinny pedal and some bad luck.
