Just wondering how you guys get your busted cars on/off trailers(or engine-less). I built a cool lil gizmo, basically a boat-trailer crank winch. Wow, does it make things nice! Pics will be up later today.
Just seeing if anyone else has done this!

 

Big Mike pushes our around.

 

at 5'7", 160 lbs, I cant push too much around. 200ft head starts and slamming the car into ramps, breaking them, AND the car is how I used to do it. F*ck that!

I hear that. I am same size and can't do it by myself either. We had looked into getting a winch, but I want to be able to move it in and out of the trailer. That way I can put it in my garage when i need to pull the car up that steep *** drive. We just haven't had enough time to do it.

 

post some pics of what you got.... i want to make some home made deal for mine also, smashing the ride into the trailer is beginning to lose its flare.

 

i'll might be able to get some pics saturday of ours.. we have a winch mounted on our trailer but its removable, electric, works really good.

yea pics would be great ...i wanna see hows this works ...

 

I want to see how this works too. Pushing the cars onto the trailer is beginning to be a real pain.

 

drag racing

 

Yah its a pain to push the car up the trailer sometimes. I am intersted to see what you did.

 

Sorry for the delay, crazy weekend.
I shouldve painted before a trip on salty northern michigan roads. Oh well, maybe later.

 

how hard is crankin that thing while the car is attached to it pullin it on the the trailor?

 

that looks pretty good, and same question, how difficult is it to crank the car up once attatched?

I can tell ya it's easy. I have a similar hand cranking winch on my boat trailer and I know my boat weighs more than my car. You could propably buy a hand winch and a long strap at a local boat shop.

 

Its VERY easy. With a boat, youre working with friction...
With a car, it just rolls on up. The cable barely gets taught...
I went WAY overboard on the cable too(5/16")but its nice to know that I could pull a much larger load if need-be.

 

How much was it?

tinker, thanks for the info, i'm definitely going to work something like that out.

 

aw yes...you've got to love the creative minds of drag racers.

 

Hmmm Like holding body parts on with Summit sport compact racing stickers hahahahhahah

 

I think I had $80 into it w/cable and material

 

we just bought an electric winch for 60 bucks at pep boys.

slow *** dog **** but u can smoke a cig and drink a beer while loading the car up

FOR 60 buck it came with 2 mounting brackets one for the front of the truck and one for the trailor. remote, and some wires and ****. super easy to install. we had to use it to tow my sisters car when she smashed into a poll. and the to pick up my dad charger from the body shop. both times the thing sounded like it was going to die but it kept on truck'n. for 60 bucks u cant go wrong.
