Yaaaas Yea, UHaul refused to rent to me when I told them I was ging to load it ass first. Went to another and didn't tell them (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Most dollys pivot. If you don't lock the steering axle down, you just might see your car 1/2 lane over in your rearview mirror. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I noticed this trend when my rope loosened up on me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Anyway, if I don't tow with a trailer, I tow butt first as that is where most of the weight is and I want weight on the tongue of the trailer for better straight line stability. Oh.....I also run with the targa in place and the targa and rear trunk lid Duct Taped down.....they were parts cars so I didn't mind glue on the paint. And, UHaul is referencing a front engine vehicle...they don't know about rear or mid-engine vehicles. You must have weight on the tongue attached to the ball or the trailer will whip back and forth. |
