SCHMITTY
Not enough time
I've been doing a little research online for building one. Eventually I'll own a trailer but until then it would be nice to have a way to get my truck home without calling a tow truck.
Have any of you tried towing a single cab with a tow bar ? My wife has towed me home a few miles before with a strap and she did alright but it is illegal here to use a strap. I have some old mobile home axles that I could probably build a large dolly but a simple tow bar would be a fun project. The tow rig would be a mega cab that weighs about 1k more than my truck.
I'd also like to use the bar to push trucks into my shop with my 95. I was thinking about making some tabs for the frame of my 95' and having some type of quick connect for the tabs and a ball hitch on the other end. There is a slight hill going into my shop and these diesel trucks are just a bit heavy and my knees aren't what they use to be.
Furthest I'd tow my truck would probably be 20 miles.
