    towing opinions on car dolly

    LOL, funny you mention. I've accumulated just under 300,000 miles on various H-D scooters since @ 1990-91. My FLTR is actually my main means of transportation, including cold weather. I was a certified m/c safety course trainer as recent as 2002. I just dont think the others I'm heading...

    towing opinions on car dolly

    Appreciate all the feedback on transporting with a dollie so far. That's an idea that I killed. Was tempting due to low $$$ however. A few other suggestions were off the charts expensive since this isnt exactly a life or death situation..(Uhaul truck + Uhaul trailer) Purchasing something...

    towing opinions on car dolly

    Murphys law. What will happen to me is traffic will be backed up 11 miles somewhere near Scranton or Harrisburg, the stroker will run out of gas and the PA troopers will bust my ***. :) We'll all ( 4 of us) be leaving Thursday AM to get down there, so at some point no matter how early...

    towing opinions on car dolly

    Not an option. Only thing I meant by that was extreme local if the car was laid up (my house to Al's shop 11 miles away) were talking 30mph

    towing opinions on car dolly

    Borrowing even a light trailer + your car, would exceed the towing capacity of your ranger. probably do-able at night giong real slow but no fun at all. Driving the car or borrowing a truck/rent trailer seem like the only sane options. I feel your pain. Everything is so darned expensive. I...

    towing opinions on car dolly

    Ya'll talked me right out of the car dolly! The Uhaul dollies I saw had brake lights and directionals easily seen from the sides. harness just hooks to the one on my truck. Also there is a +700 lb weight restriction for the vehicle thats doing the towing (U Haul) I dont anticipate UHaul...

    towing opinions on car dolly

    U R right. My brother has a ***** of a time even with a fullsize Explorer. However they will allow the EXACT same suv (Lincoln) with different emblems leave the parking lot.

    towing opinions on car dolly

    Closer its getting to Carlisle the more I want to bring my Duster with me. I trailered twice with my brothers 5.4L truck years past but now his car is done so he trailers it down instead. I only have a 4.0L Ranger/auto trans and the combined weight of trailer and car would be well over 5,000...

    replacing my dslr camera

    Hi, I'm a professional photog and can possibly provide you with some input. Im a Nikon user- and very familiar with the product line. If your not a Pro or a very serious ameteur who is earning some income I would stay clear of bodies with features that will cost you huge $$ that you might...

    Tornado Warning in the Raleigh N.C. Area!!!

    Hey, hope all is well. I see no follow up post and hoping that the worst case scenario is the power just got knocked out.

    Are you a respected member?

    I dont concern myself with thinking about all that. I tend to go LONG periods of time without making any post- so my actual post stats are probably pretty low. I just like the website for what it. It's great for being a resource for finding parts I need or new owners for stuff I no longer...

    Carlise

    Yep, going again this year. I think I missed once in the last 7 years.. Our group has grown, we're bringing along a Carlisle "first timer" (67 Barracuda owner) and a buddy from South Carolina . My Duster is staying home, but we'll be pulling my brothers 70 R/T Challenger. This will be the...

    How P.O'd am I???

    Ct. phone number and my local internet provider (sbcglobal). The guys name sounds very familiar . I'll be asking around. Your story burns my ***. Similar situation- many years ago my brother and I looked at a B5 '70 R/T Challenger near New Haven Ct. Nice driver, original 440 4bbl car...

    I wish we met-you photographed my Duster and posted the pic (thanks) i had a blast talking with people when I was actually At the car and not in the swap area. I handed out about a dozen FABO cards too. Im glad some of you guys took pics there too. I packed my wifes point and shoot consumer...

    need info on Dodge Ram 1500 pickups

    Just learned something new. I was not aware the 5.7L could be ordered in '04. I'm actually not sure even when the the first new Hemis even came out anymore. Was the basic Ram 1500 4x4 SLT available in '04? Gotta check out you ride man!

    need info on Dodge Ram 1500 pickups

    Is that the new truck you were talking about purchasing? I just saw online that Jimmy has an '05 Ram 1500 reg. cab at his dealership. A nice 4x4 Yellow '05 Ram up in Litchfield too but listed over my allowance.

    need info on Dodge Ram 1500 pickups

    I wasnt expecting anything remotely resembling 17-20 while towing the car for sure. We did manage 14mpg with my brothers 5.4l Ford while towing. The Uhaul trailer weighed 2k plus the cars 3150, and all our ****...Oh yea, a 500 lb intake for Adam LOL. plenty of hills from Ct. to Carlisle. I...

    need info on Dodge Ram 1500 pickups

    Im thinking about possibly looking into something like an '05 Ram 1500 4x4 Reg. cab pickup. I own a nice '05 Ranger XLT thats worth a boatload of $$ but I wouldnt dream of towing the Duster with it to the Nats or Carlisle . Whatever opinions or suggestions or experiences you have I'll take...

    Here we go Patriots!!!

    Im biased, but Giants are tough! I'm thinking they will be in the ballgame up to the half, maybee 3 or 6 pt game. I just have a gut feeling they will find their old skills like the "dropsies" and a few Eli picks . Plaxico has a history of smoking my team with Pitts. He ruined our 21...

    Kenny Wayne Shepherd's Duster

    Yikes, behind the grille has to be blacked out. Very noticable especially on the '70 models. Otherwise, NICE. KWS dated a friend's neice. (Melody)

    Dust-AAR hood?

    This IS the website for it, Im sure most of you have seen that dudes awesome '71 Plymouth Duster/AAR tribute. Its in the new (Feb already) MoPar Action and the MCG. The hood these guys fabricated is teriffic. Im hoping that this idea makes it to the aftermarket, I would own one in a heartbeat...

    FOUND- 70 R/T Challenger build sheet

    I know this is Abodiesonly but someone out there is missing an important paper. Friend of mine was reunited with his old Challenger after 19 years. Really cool story-but for another time. Anyhow, 19 years "wiser" he wants to restore things pretty much like stock body wise and he was wondering...
