Re: tow a rwd car on a tow dolly
rjstractor wrote: From seeing your other post it seems to be a pretty cool little car with very low miles. I suppose you could tow it backwards on a dolly, but two potential problems I see are low ground clearance- smacking the air dam on the ground, etc, and that car might have directional tires that are designed to spin in only one direction. I would trailer a car like that. That is what I'm thinking. I just didn't want hassle of stowing a trailer at a campground. I have no problem handling a trailer after towing 5ers for years.4.6KViews0likes0CommentsTowing a Scion FRS 4 down
I already have a Ford Fiesta that tow 4 down but my son wants to givr me his 2013 Scion FRS with a 6 speed manual that only has 10,000 miles on it. It says it can't be towed but I wondering if anybody has flat towed one with any problems. I'm also looking at towing with rear wheels on a dolly. If all else fails I guess it would come down to putting it on a trailer. Thanks1.8KViews0likes3Commentstow a rwd car on a tow dolly
Has anyone here towed a rear wheel drive car with the rear wheels on a tow dolly? I have a rear drive that I would like to start towing but it is not rated for four down. I would make it so front wheels would be unable to turn from side to side. Thanks8KViews0likes13CommentsRoad Restrictions on ON 402 Canada
I trying to plan a route from Flint, MI to Niagara Falls, ON, Canada on Garmin Basecamp and then download to my RV660. My route is around 200 miles but when I download and routes me back into the states and all the way to Ontario, Canada then back to Niagara Falls. The RV660 has my RV information so was curious if there are RV restrictions on highway 402 from Sarnia, ON to Niagara Falls, ON?1.3KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Disc brake update

I have viewed the Performance Trailer Brake Titan disc brake installation video many times as I'm thinking of installing these myself. At 20:40 of their video they state that to have all the calipers facing either front or rear as long as they are the same. Performance Trailer They only need to be the same direction within the same axle. I chose this because the caliper bolts are more easily accessed this way due the shock mounts. I checked with them. OK that makes sense, thanks285Views0likes0CommentsRe: Disc brake update
