Figure I post this... I towed a car that was non running, getting it on the uhaul dolly was easy!
We put a tire strapped in the back, and the guy pushed the car with his car! but how did i manage to get it down? Please dont do this as it was both dangerous and stupid. If you have ever done something, share. Dont post anything thats not yours, dont bash anybody, or else this post will be closed, keep it civilized.. Back on topic.. I placed a jackstand underneath a 2x4 and jacked up the car, then slowly pulled the dolly away, lol, i was desperate. pics...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Early '90s I had a '54 Chevy truck with a tunnel ram.
One evening it wouldn't start, so I sprayed a lil starting fluid in the carbs-- still no start. So I sprayed a lil more, hit the start button, & WHAM!!! Tach went over 9 thou & the motor instantly locked up!! End result-- floated every valve, 1 busted intake valve embedded into the piston, & 1 majorly twisted con rod!! I laugh now, back then I was sooo FML!! |

I have no idea what inspired me to do this, but I once went hill-hopping in a '99 Dodge Ram. Looking back, I was begging to die. There was no way that should have ended well. Ramped two hills and never did that again. Actually, I sold the truck and got a '96 Celica ST auto and that thing was so slow, I actually forgot how to even break the speed limit.
