Your towing rigs and trailers

[SuperDuty335]

I had a "hauler" for myself until the rebuilt transmission locked up and almost got me ran over on the interstate. It was a Toyota Corolla with 200k and still getting 31mpg. Of course it isn't worthy to be in the same photo with the blue ovals, but a good car nonetheless.

Nice bumper those Reunel, huh? Mine has the 12,000 pound Warn winch in it, fog lights, driving lights, couple tow hooks and two receiver hitches. Only really needed one but with the winch in the middle had to have receiver off center so got two to look balanced. I then used the twin receivers up front to mount a home brew multi bike carrier (in additiion to using one at a time to push a trailer backwards.

I changed the front coil springs to bring the ride height up to 1/2 inch over stock (for 4x4 one ton) while holding up the Cummins AND the 500 lb front bumper. Went with variable rate springs custom built for me from elliptically tapered spring stock. Mine is '97 too. Last of the 12 valve with NO COMPUTER crap.

Changed ot the injector pump and injectors to get more HP, torque, and a tad better economy (1-2 MPG) all at the same time through higher efficiency from finer fuel plume.

Hmmm, coulda (in fact DID) fool me. Either a convergence of form following function or one of the sources took a long look at the other guy's product.

The Reunel is 1/4 inch steel. The bars surrounding the headlights are not tubing but solid steel. I have push bars of solid stainless steel covered with clear plastic hose which serves to keep B'mers out of the radiator. There are appropriate cutouts for air flow.

I think I am a bit jealous of the light weight.

Don't take it personally, I was aiming for the Corolla.

I think everybody was that day!
Thankfully I have finally purged myself of all Toyota and Chevrolet vehicles I have ever owned.
