I'm running into a little dilemma here. I've found a daily driver candidate about 5hrs away from me. Non-running so figured I'd dolly/trailer it back up here.

First though, Uhaul... okie i cant tow it behind my hatch so I'll ask a friend for help. Friend has an explorer which is perfect for trailering a lightweight little civic.

Check with Uhaul, they don't allow rentals to Explorers now, due to a large number of outstanding and past lawsuits with them... so yeah.... tow option is hurting.

Is there anyone in the Chicago area that has a trailer they could loan/rent cheaply for a day trip? Or does anyone know of companies that rent dollies/trailers other than Uhaul?

If I can't figure out how to get this tow to happen, Im SOL

Almost forgot, if someone does have a trailer in chicago. I'll gladly give you money or something for a days use.

Help this poor soul out so I dont have to hear him bitch and whine about it all night/week/month.....

Chris - who will check tommorrow with some local rental places to see what they have.

 

That bad huh?

 

Just found the thread from the other day about towing etc (thanks ^)... looking it over and adding some stuff to the calls i've been making.

 

To close on a good note. If you have a Taylor Rental around, tow dollies are ~55 a day. I know i had them around in PA and found them to be around out here in Chicago. They have saved me

 

well, that was certainly fast..

you could've always rented a truck from uhaul and a trailer, or rented a truck/van from Enterprise and rented a trailer separately..

 

Heh, anyone else find the irony in picking up a non-running daily driver?

Yup, my dailyish driver is fine doing the duty though. So my goal was a clean car that can be put into duty with some wrench time. It fits the bill nicely.

Cheaper to buy a daily driver that isn't running then one that runs. hehe

Haha, I can only afford to buy my race cars running. Put your money where it counts

 

Civic as a beater? Let's see how long that lasts before it becomes a track car

Another one won't hurt, right? Low budget build up until you calculate how much you spent

How can you call it a track car, when its spend most of its time in the sand trap at Gman
:couch: watch out for turn 3 :cough:

If I had a trailer and a truck I would be over this weekend to help out. I might be able to get you a trailer from a firend here in my area.

Where is the kaa located??
