    Towing a uhaul car transporter

    In almost every picture of that thread, the truck's butt is sagging... I haven't had any "problems", I just don't like how it sits. I've towed it with a friend's trailer which is marked for his E30 racecar, and my truck sits level. It's only these frickin uhauls that insist on putting the engine...

    Towing a uhaul car transporter

    Alrighty then, I'll try backing it up. I'll be getting it cornerbalanced soon so maybe I'll bump the ride height a bit so the lip doesn't grind.

    Towing a uhaul car transporter

    This is the drawbar I have, the smaller drop one, 2 1/4" I think: http://store.uhaul.com/Ball_mounts/Moving/Class_III_Ball_Mounts

    Towing a uhaul car transporter

    I've been towing my track car (E30 BMW) using the uhaul car transporters for a while now, with my V8 4WD. I've done it probably half a dozen to ten times now and it's usually fine. It really bugs me though the way they have the engine sit so far infront of the CofG of the trailer. The worst was...

    Need help with some mods - grille, bumper and brake assist

    Hi guys, I've had my '05 SR5 V8 for about 2 years now and there are a few things I want to change. It's the light blue (name escapes me now) and I like the body colored grille and silver bumper inserts on the Limiteds. Does anyone know how much these bits are? The bumper inserts look separate...

    Please spare what you can, sponsor me in the CIBC run for the cure

    I'm sure many of you have been affected by cancer in your lives, my grandmother died of lung cancer. I'm participating in the CIBC Run for the Cure again this year, and I would really appreciate it if I could get some help from you guys to donate on my behalf. I'm already registered and paid up...

    What did you drive before your 4Runner

    First car, 1990 BMW 535i 5 spd, modified until it handled like a gocart. Lapped MoSport faster than M3's thanks to cornering. Also had an E28 535 as a winter beater and I was SURE I had pics of it somewhere because it was so bad it was good but I don't... Next and previous car, 1992 M5...

    North Vancouver - Need A Car Trailer For Half A Day Sunday July 30

    Hi guys! I bought a 325 bimmer for a track car but it's not currently on the road, I need to tow it. UHaul is being a pain in the crack and the owner is leaving the country tomorrow (hence the good deal). Does anyone have a 2 axle car trailer I could borrow for a few hours in the Vancouver...

    HID Install for 2006 4Ruunner

    Do you have any figures for the current draw on startup? I find it surprizing that it will fry wires rated for halogen bulbs (which must be a solid 4-5 amps a pop, and have a very high peak current draw while the filament is cold and has low resistance). The fuse is a different matter, but since...

    HID Install for 2006 4Ruunner

    This kit seems quite odd to me. I had the McCulloch kit on my E34 M5 and it took 5 minutes to install (and most of the time was spent finding a creative and cool place for the components. There are no relays or any need to drag wires across the engine compartment. Each assembly plugs into the...
