Default Trailer w/ winch needed

Anyone have a trailer with a winch that I could rent for a day? I need to take my truck over to Marshall's tomorrow so he can get started on the headers/exhaust. I can rent a trailer from U-Haul for $50, but a winch would make it much easier to get the truck loaded, since it can't move under it's own power. Thanks.

If you decide to push it on a non-winched trailer... I'm available to help.

Thanks! If I have to go that route, when would you be available?

I'm available too.. pretty much any time. Let me know.

BTW, why not just drive it with no exhaust? ...and let me get it on video.

That would be a nice vid, but the radiator and everything on the frontend is still off, leaving it off so Marshall has plenty of room to work, it's tight enough already in there. Plus I still need to do the fuel cell, pump and lines.

Altho, if the power doesn't come back on, it might not be ready for tomorrow anyway. Damn storms.

Cool, that would work. I was hoping to have it ready today, but now the power is out, so if I can finish it tomorrow, then we could load it up tomorrow evening and I'll drop it off Friday morning.

Default Re: Trailer w/ winch needed

i have one,but there's two issues:
1-i can't get down to the shop to get it until friday
2-my winch will barely pull a Honda up on the trailer.i'm pretty sure there's no way it'll pull your truck.
i normally just use a come-a-long on cars too heavy for my winch.it doesn't take long at all,and it's good workout.
if i can be of any help,let me know.

A come-a-long would work, not sure why I didn't think of that. Truck probably weighs about 3800lbs in it's current state, maybe a lil less. Friday might work, since losing the power halted my progress today (I'm on my last 30mins of battery power ). I might be able to get it finished up tomorrow, if the power comes back on (they're saying noon tomorrow right now).
