I bought Paul's 85 F-250. 460/ C6 and its carburated. I did about 7 mpg to hammers 2 weeks ago with the jeep on a trailer.

Tow trucks aren't very cheap either... <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">
I'm soooo close to havin my fawkin 460 powered tow rig done <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> I have about 3 grand in it total. It'll be a smog exempt fire breathin tow rig. I decided to build it, rather than get a 40k truck and have 1k a month payments.

wheelinjp 10-16-2001, 08:47 AM I wonder if anyone fj crazy has built a badass fj45 tow rig. If I had an fj 40 thats what I would build for sure. Anyone???

no way. no matter what drive train up put in it it will still have a weak frame and wont wiegh enough for me to be comfortable anyways! jiMMy
wheelinjp 10-16-2001, 08:55 AM Jimmy what if a person was to put the cab and box on a modified full size frame? Or is it too narrow? I think an FJ45 cab built into an extended cab and mated to a 90s powerstroke f350 std. cab frame would be bad ass and then just run some 38-16-16.5s and a hi-lux early short box on it. That is just a dream. I wheel a Jeep so I dont have anything cool to tow with like that. I had a nice Willys wagon I was gonna tow with but I bought the f350 instead.
The Jerk 10-16-2001, 08:59 AM i guess if you have the time and money. id rather tow in something nice than stare at a cruiser dash all day or night, plus it would probably be loud as hell. as for the looker factor im sure it woul drank high! jiMMy
Honkylips 10-16-2001, 09:07 AM I've seen an FJ40 towing an FJ40 on a trailer at Farmington this year (I think he was there last year as well). The tow rig was pretty built up as well. I thought it was kinda crazy, but to each his own I suppose.
