So I had to pull my buddies off the freeway last weekend, a 94 dodge 3/4 ton and a 86 runner tow strapped behind it.... no one there thought i could... threw it in low range and drug them both 4 miles.... i was so proud of the runner!!!! granted once you get them movin its only rolling resistance, but still, a story to tell!

 

Any picts?

 

That exactly how I felt when I pulled my Dads 40 foot class A Motor Home out of the mud. The dual axles were buried to the rim. I was proud of my baby that day.

 

naw we didn't get any pics.... but lots of witnesses... i'll get some pics of the two trucks though

 

lol... so it was your runner, strapped to the Dodge, that was strapped to the other runner?

i bet that was a sight to see...

 

ya, i can imagine it would have been funny to look at... basically it was this:

me-------dodge------4runner goin down the freeway shoulder

 

dodge sandwhich?

 

hehe...cool...22REs rock.

really, though, it's all about gearing...you could tow the titanic with an electric pencil sharpener if you had enough gearing.

 

And unlimited time, as it would take forever.

 

Sounds like when my good friend used his 3F-E powered FJ62 to pull a 18-wheeler off some railroad tracks. Guess the truck had stalled right in the middle of a crossing and was going to end up smashed eventually by one of the coal trains that run through Denver. My buddy had to use 4-low and lock both his ARBs to get enough traction and still had to jerk him to get him moving, but like you say once you get it moving, then it's just momentum. A 6000 lbs FJ62 pulling a 60,000 lbs semi... Gotta dig Toyotas!

 

yep yep.... toyotas rock

 

true...but, then, rockcrawling is all about not being in a hurry, right?

 

thats right!
