Thanks. I'm hoping MulePick is correct. It is much more convenient to drop a little panel off and not have to make other transportation arrangements (obviously). There are 3 very fine (but somewhat long) scratches on it that bug me. I just made an offer on a stripped down tundra and will...

Anyone know how easy/difficult it is? I want to have someone paint it and would just like to drop the body peice off and tell them to match it. It's a galactic grey 2k4 model. I hope they can match it perfect :)

Thanks Kevin! I think I'm all set. I'll call and make sure they have the adapter. I purchased a towing kit from autozone yesterday. 2" ball but is only rated for 6000lbs. I'll be pulling about 5700lbs.

Yeah, I checked with my insurance, and I'm covered. I'm going to rig up Thursday and I looked around the hitch and didn't notice a harness? Where did they stash that thing :) Also, I looked at the autocarrier and it has a rectangular (4pin?) connector. They included some kind of adapter with...

I can't hand over my key to a stranger. That Supra stays with me, in my sight at all times :) Heard too many horror stories. I've got 60k it that car and alot of blood and sweat (all work done by me).

Charlie now that I think about it, it probably wasn't duct tape, but some kind of other tape, like packing tape. SW is smarter than that, I just recalled incorrectly. Just reserved a Uhaul auto carrier. $452 for 5 days...OUCH!

North that looks pretty sweet. Hopefully uhaul will have something like that. If I use the tape I hope it doesn't leave a residue that is hard to get off. Went I went to the Supra meet a couple of years ago SW put duct tape all around his car before road racing. Thanks charlie, the tape is...

More great tips. Thanks all. Whats up Northof49. Well, I think tracking down a covered car transporter may be both difficult and inconvenient, although I agree it is the ideal solution. As I mentioned before, I towed it here behind a 12-14ft Uhaul truck and the car didn't get a mark on it...

Ok, this is scaring me. The Supra has 24k miles, all original, not a ding or scratch. I didn't use a braw when I pulled it here behind the uhaul truck and it didn't get a mark on it. Why would the Runner shoot debris up? Are you sure about this? I thought the Runner would block debris from...

Knew I could count on you guys. Thanks Scott. Very helpful.

Great advice, thanks guys. I'm feeling a bit nervous/anxious/excited and thinking things through correctly can be challenging when I'm like this. Just checked the Uhaul website and the auto-carrier comes with a surge brake...so I should be set. Any other advice? Precautions to take? I'll have...

Finally taking the big move back to Florida! Yay! Here's the deal. My Supra weighs 3500lbs, the u-haul auto carrier weighs 2000lbs. I have a V8 4x4 2004 that I want to use to tow it. I'll be going from houston texas to cocoa beach florida. From previous discussions and searches, it appears the...

You have to be careful. I have a black 97 toyota Supra. It does NOT have a clear coat (thank God). However, only certain colors of that year do have clear coat. Matter of fact most do. I think red, black, and white are colors without it. So, it depends on the color, not just the year and...

Great info. So I gather that if the trailer has brakes I'm ok. Thanks again. And thanks for the insurance heads-up Dave.
