Does anyone have a car trailer?

[steelcityslicker]

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?

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...

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.

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!

Glad to hear they got it worked out.

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!

(can I borrow 10 bux? )

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.

And you can borrow 10 bucks any day friend.

Missi was @ Ardbeg this weekend, I assume with them...

Interesting to hear about the trail being truck hungry, I love that trail.

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.

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

Pez! Do you have pics of that trail at all?
