At the Rubicon trail head

96 K3500 Trail Rig

Is your Trail Rig the same length as your Tow Rig? :D

Trail rig has a longer wheelbase :D :rolleyes:

Think I'll take the Dodge through upper hell at this years BB ;) :eek:

Perfect excuse for me to buy a new camera.

Yeah yours has that pesky problem of putting blue lines through everything :rolleyes: :D

Yeah, it started half way through the canyon last year.

Also at the Rubicon Trial head.

Thats one chopped up Mog! Sweet!waytogo

:pimp: Itll get the job done till I have time to make a tube buggy out of it sometime. It sure is a cheap wheeler thatll go anywhere alot of "heavily modified" trucks can.

Nice! Looks a lot like where my truggy started.

Sweet, any more pics?

Sure,
I've since "trimmed" the front bumper, ditched the fenders and "modified" the cab a little more. Now that my JD2 bender is all finished up, I can finish the cage and fiddle around with a few other things until the tube buggy time comes.

Now all I need is a slide-in camper and a Cummins in place of that small block gasser rotfl

I also pull another trailer behind this and total weight of 33,000 pounds.

I haul other diesels to build up projects and strongman gear to competitions.

If you upload pics in the gallery it will auto resize them for you. waytogo

http://towrig.com/photos

still didnt work quite right. How do I get the pictures from the gallery into my threads??

Sorry to be a pain. Im not to computer literate :confused:

Find your pic in the gallery, then right click on it and select view image, this will display your photo outside of the gallery software, then simply copy the address that is in the address bar. Then while creating a post select the Insert Image icon (http://towrig.com/forums/images/editor/insertimage.gif) and paste the image address in the pop up box.

OK I finally got the posting of the pictures thing figured out.

Here is the Tow Rig

You might want to pull those ramps up before you go anywhere. :doah:

Yeah, going from a small block gasser to a Diesel is so dramatic of a jump in performance I can still hardly believe what I was missing.

Here is my truck and My Jeep before I re-assembled it

http://towrig.com/photos/data/500/214towrig_com1.JPG

And here is my truck pulling 1 of our churches 5 Enclosed trailers used for church plants. (this one is the smallest,- 24' 7000-8000lbs :D )

Not the best pic but this is my backhoe

My nephew's 1998 Ford F-250 LD has kept me on the road twice within the last five weeks.

Here are a couple towing pics that I have. Here is my 69 when I went and borrowed a buddy's tractor to grade my road. The 454 I put in there pulls the trailer very nicely, I might add.

http://yukon.b0xen.us/bbproject/k20withtractorb.jpg

Here is when my buddy with his 1 ton converted to 4wd helped me bring my K20 home from the body shop

http://yukon.b0xen.us/bbproject/pa030015.jpg

Here is the 69 a few years ago after I got the flatbed installed.

http://yukon.b0xen.us/bbproject/k20withtrailer.jpg

Lastly, here is my whimpy Yukon bringing home a Blazer from Dallas. Maybe a little overload on those 1/2 ton springs.

Burt

Yep, the engine is running real well. It will pull a healthy third gear scratch with the Detroit hooking up both tires. Great recipe for breaking something :doah:

Here's our Junk that we tow...

We just bought a new 5th toy hauler. Momma just ain't happy camping in a tent!

Good Lord, that's bigger than my first apartment. waytogo

Pretty cool, huh? I got a smokin deal on it. That 32' 5th wheel was cheaper than a 26' bumper pull. And it has a slide!

6 pages long and i have not posted mine yet.. odd...

J. Delaney, I like your Superduty! Got any more pics of it by itself? Also, whats the specs on it?

This is taken on the way to tellico.

Nice setup!!waytogo

This is taken on the way to tellico.

Me likey the K5. Whats the specs on it?

my new trailer for the big rig and my other tow rig hooked up to trailer and then shown unpacked and opened up.

NICE!!! What kind of Trailer is that??? I used to have a Time-Out Motorcycle tent trailer that my grandpa gave me. I pulled it with my old 95 Chevy C2500 (8lug) EX Cab LB 350 though:o

It was an 2001 Aspen Classic and all loaded up it topped out at 623# a bit heavy but it pulled nice and stopped great but not much for fuel economy if going over 60 mph. Timout campers were okay but I wanted a bigger tire so wheel bearings didn't take a beating as with 8" tires when the bike was doing 60 the tires were doing 120 but with a 12" tire it was only 90. By the way MERRY CHRISTMAS!
