Ok.. gotta tow the new Fiero home. Tongue

What size boll does Brian's dolly take? He said 3 inch but i can't find it anywere.. and.. that really friggen big!

Does anyone have the tow hitch insert (big square bar) that I can borrow to make the Astrovan hitch usable. I have the frame, just not the hitch insert. Sad

Need it for this weekend!

Cheers!

No it's not 3".  It's either 1 7/8 or 2".  I'll measure it tonight and post an accurate number for you.  (The dolly is currently in my driveway instead of Gary's.  Smiley )


Brian, I owe you a 2-4.  Pick your poison.

Eric, let me know if you get what you need in order to use the dolly this weekend.  'cause if you do, you can pick it up from my place instead of Gary's.   Grin  That'll save me from having to snag my landlord's van again just to move the silly thing 20km.

Not even close.  I'm in the middle of nowhere just like Gary (but different).  Easy for me to swing by Brian's place on my way home though.  Can pick up the receiver(s) tonight or tomorrow and have them waiting with the dolly if you like.

You need a high bar (high truck) or a low one (for a car).

Dirt simple--I can give you a quick run-through when you pick it up.

To be honest... no.. I've been pricing out the full flat bed ones to tow the car completly off the ground. They go for under $2000.00 used..

si if the price is right, you can buy yourself a good supply of beer. Tongue

cheers!
Eric
