sick of going to the track (drag, road course) and having to worry about my car breaking. would rather just beat the **** out of it and if it breaks, it breaks. cant afford a trailer, and dont have the room for one anyway. anyone here use a tow dolley to trailer their car around? are there any dolleys that are better suited for lowered vehicles or on slicks? places like uhaul I usually have to remove my bumper and/or hit my downpipe.

 

I always had to remove my bumper to get the car on the tow dolly i used to use. if the car is lowered, you probably willl have to keep doing so. I havent found one that suits lowered cars yet. good luck

 

why not opt for something like a 16 or 18ft open trailer with no brakes...then upgrade to brakes, whinch, tool box, and other things as you go along?

I got a Dolley and a Trailer for sale

 

I use to dolley my car around, but I now have a trailor.

Heres a trick to get your car on the dolley without removing your bumper.
get two 4'x 2"x10" boards up them on the ramps and leave the ramps locked . Do not lower the pivot. The car should go right up without hitting. You may have to put blocks under the wood.

thanks for the replies and tips. Im not really looking to buy a regular dolley. I was more interested in seeing if there were any sort of custom dolleys that work better for our sort of situations. and like I said I have no room for a trailer. Ill figure something out.

That is exactly what I do as well. No problems here.

 

here's what i use

 

we had the dolley of death 3 cars fell off on turns, 2 blown recap tires, 1 broken fender. never going to use a dolley again it costed me as much in repair and maintence for half of a 16 ft open so i just saved up oh yeah broken taillight from the fender

 

i never had a problem with my dolly, my car is lower but we just use boards to help it up. not everyone can afford trailer and have the truck to tow it with. i use a dodge dakota v6 and it been from San jose to LA number of times

 

anyone know where can i find repalcement straps, for a two wheel dolley? on the dolley i have, you have to recheck the straps every so many miles!
