I can still remember the day when I picked up my 1st teener ... perfect day for the trip home, with open roof about 400 miles through the country ... what a feeling (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

I still need to know if I can use a trailer dolley and put the front wheels on it with the tranny in nuetral. I have been told by someone it would mess up the tranny. |

I still need to know if I can use a trailer dolley and put the front wheels on it with the tranny in nuetral. I have been told by someone it would mess up the tranny. I just recently towed my first teener from San Diego to San Luis Obispo nearly trouble free. 3 pieces of advice... 1. Make sure you wrap the safety chains around the A-Arms as well as secure the tires with the ratchet straps. I pulled into get gas near Malibu and found that one of the ratchet straps had come un-done... the only thing that save me was the fact that I used the "back up" safety chains. 2. If it has a front spoiler or fairing of any kind TAKE IT OFF!!! Mine had an aftermarket (noted so purists don't beat the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) out of me) LE spoiler that broke from the hitting the ratchet straps when the car shifted at some point... probably when the ratchet strap came off and the chains saved my ass and car. 3. Disconnect the battery and turn the igition to the ON position so the wheel can rotate free. But avoid tight turns because the car can swing in to the dolly fenders and F-Up your doors, rocker panels, and front fenders. CONGRATS!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
