Trailer Queen

Would any of my fellow minions object or laugh at another minion for trailering their street driven trail rig? I am thinking of towing my big truck to Tellico instead of driving it. 350 miles round trip is = a lot of wear on a set of boggers going up the mountain with welded diffs. If you have driven a welded diff equipped truck in the mountains you know what I mean. Any objections?

I don't think it would be a big issue. This way if you get a little nuts and break something your not stranded in the end!

That was another thing I was worried about. Only prob. is that I have to use a k-1500 chebbie to tow it with. Unless I put a trailer hitch on the mustang.

I might just start doing that. Boggers are expensive. Chebbie gets 18 mpg while towing with a ranger behind it. Towed a blown ranger the other day. Very inpressive for a chebbie.

Nooooooooooooooooo!



I dont have a problem with it. When I finally make it to mud fest Im certainly not driving the 250 there. 8mpg x 500 miles = too broke to play in the mud
