Tow Rigs ---------

dang u guys got some sick rides

Old wheels and tires

Coming to Twitch's defense, he is a good kid with good morals and a good work ethic especially in this day and age of kids thinking My Super Sweet 16 is real life. His family does well and he never gets on here and acts like a lot of the teens that lurk. This Andy though is coming off as a DB hopefully that will change.

Nice setup Andy -- But is that a Ski-Don't I spy in the back?? Please tell me you keep the Polaris/Arctic Cat's in the back to keep them nice and pretty haha. Where you ride at, U.P. or what?

But just a question - how do you cross state lines in a semi under 21? You get your CDL outta state or something?

Not mine. But oh, how I wish it was... one of the cleanest most beautiful trucks I've seen. GMC 3500 crew w/Amp (Les Schwab) 20" wheels. This was parked at the North entrance to the Seattle Boat Show, and I stopped to admire it every day I was at the show. Sorry for the quality, cell phone pic.

cal that may be an illusion but that rear end seems to be dragging .It must have one hell of a boat its pulling or that 3500 isnt too impressive.

hate your so right. those of us that have been here a while remember exactly how twitch introduced himself with his MC thread.....we checked him and he has been a great resource for info and provided some great advise to people ever since. (high five) so i hope andy is going to get the same lesson/beat down and will wind up being a good source of info for the future lookie looes on WW. so take your lumpings andy, get over it and welcome to WW.

oh yah i almost forgot my new tow rig!!!

You guys got me all worked up for a new rig....what's the opinion on an 08 F250, 6.4 PS. This particular truck has a 6" lift, I think 37's, and tons of flashy fluff. Is the 6.4 still getting the bugs worked out? Truck has 7K miles on it. I've had 2 6.0 PSD's, and they both left me stranded a couple times...caused me to go to Cummins in 2006.

For the lifted guys....how much does a properly installed suspension lift decrease your towing capacity? I regularly will need to pull up to 12.5K on a conventional hitch.

Bill, I think it's an illusion from the angle of the shot and the crappy-ness of my phone's camera, it was sitting level and looked solid.

meathead, im am loving my rig right now. i had a 05 with the 6.0 and yes i got stranded once when my high pressure oil pump went out but who didnt have that problem. reason i love this 08, first off its so smooth and quiet. i never have been one too chip, lift or do many mods to my diesels but im not opposed to it so im not much help there. i like the twin turbo. it rolls on smooth were my 05 had a harder hit. if im correct the turbos roll on in series? first one than a smooth transition to the second, but im not sure exactly. mine is a late 08 so it had the major recalls already done, i.e. flame throwing exaust, coolent venturi issue and regeneration cycle program issue, seat belt mount issue. all these were fixed before my truck was delivered so........ my truck was sitting on the lot for a few months so it had a pully sqeak due to lack of lubrication from not being ran, fixed in a few hrs. no issues at 4100 miles but its got a long life ahead of her so who knows. over all the interior of the 08 is insane on the lariet. it feels more roomy than my 05, the dash feels like it is more forward and up, very classy with a sport look with the chrome bezels and such with the woodgrain look intermixed. its a deffinent tow truck, it likes having a trailer back there. going from a 350 to a 250 has not been an issue but i think i might need to put a super spring in the rear when towing the 10k dump trailer. but i have not been working wit my bro lately so i dont know yet. tows my vlx like its not even there.

try this one more time

try this one more time

BU that grill is so money and i like that light bar. thinking about doing a custom front and rear bumpers all black heavy steel with a winch and front tow and rear tow hooks and maybe some back up lamps. anyone know of good custom fab guys in the bay area?

ya bro i only have a rev but that guy in the pic has a couple firecat.. they whoop me im not goin to lie haha, i usally ride in gaylord i have a place on boyne, but i never been over the bridge i would love to though

here is minewas actually washed that day(the new one is covered in road salt and dirt--have to wait a while to get a pic of that

Jeff, what type of rims are those? Very hot.

aaron. your truck looks good man

Rich, welcome to wakeworld nice to meet you to buddy . Sorry if I offended you I;m not trying to be a dbag just trying to spread the little knowledge I have. Thanks for the back up Bryan and Hate.

Escalade is wife's rig.....nice for trips to other lakes......but usually I just use my silverado when going local....

Heres a picture of my truck. I will take some with the boat hooked to it this weekend when I pull it out.

There is some awesome stuff on here.

Here is my budget setup. It does what I need it to.

Here are a few of mine....when I had my truck.

i'll play

Here's our tow rigs/toys

Mine is white 2005 Ford Superduty 4x4. 10.5 inch Rize lift with 40 inch Toyo's on 22 inch MKW, intake, edge, hog performance stainless exhaust, 4 inch, and a bunch of other stuff

Dodge is my business partner Brett's 2005 Dodge Dually with Kelderman Air Ride lift, about 16 inches total lift, 22.5 inch freightliner 18 wheeler wheels and tires, you can see the easy way to load a trailer. No need to jack the trailer up, just drop the back end of the truck and back up, then air it up and pick the trailer up.

1996 GMC Suburban 2500 Diesel.
Tow rig & daily driver. Cheap, good power & good mileage-

The 3500 Dodge makes that ssv look tiny!

my humble attempt

I have a F350 and it answered all of my needs during cross country Toy Box travel (Dirt Bike days)
Today towing a boat this piece of sh!+ can't turn a 180 on a three lane highway. It has a worse turning radius than a freaking freight train.

I'm looking for something small, tasteful and pretty. I want to turn and back up like the boat isn't even back there.
Here is my idea of the ultimate tow vehicle. To bad everybody else thinks the same way, these things are expensive.......

here's mine.

Ford Power!

nice trucks guys!!!

nice trucks guys!!!

Damn there are some bad ass set ups out there, nice work guys.

Brent that Bronco is sick but as a tow rig it does have a short wheel base so it'd have a little less control but yeah nice ass rig.

Ron, that set up looks super tight love the red and black together.

Here is my truck. 03 Duramax. 5" mbrp ppe xcelerator programmer.

Not the best pic of it, but you get the idea..

<img>


i'll be getting something like this soon.

07 3/4 ton suburban with 6.0L

Now this is a tow vehicle. It tows like nothings back there!

This does the job when it's just me going fishin (I got an i/o) or just my best friend. Otherwise, when the family is going, we take the stock Expedition...

My tow beast

We are the poster children for foreign oil dependence it would seem. It's starting to bother me just the tiniest bit every now and then in the winter when we can't ride... a couple of good sets in the spring and it goes away though ;-)
As a compromise we gave up the "full figured" tow rig and found a smaller vehicle that does almost as well.

Here's our setup: 08 2500 HD Duramax/ 06 21V

Some sweet rigs on here...Here's my '01 Yukon (with my old '06 21V)...120K miles and does the job.

Bunch of nice trucks on here....any of them evre go offroad since theres so much spent on lifts/wheels/tires or just show trucks?

07 Burb/08 X2

last one. steve

Still deciding on what truck to get. Currently have a ranger for daily and brothers H3T for tow.

Thanks for all the pics guys. Some nice rides out there. If an 88 yugo would tow my boat I would use it and save the money for a better boat. "your boat is for dough, the tow is for show", just made that up.

Man there are some ballers here on WW

"Scissor gang mafia..." I'm still LMAO!

Here's mine. 2008 LSV and 2008 Sierra. I saved for 5 years working 50 to 60 hour weeks, and paid for the LSV with cash.

The Sierra is sill financed though. I'm waiting on my 4 foot CWB and LF stickers though. There in the mail...

Shaun, I offroad my rover all the time man. My guess is most of these guys dont and I dont blame them I wouldnt offroad my 7k worth of lift, tires, and wheels. I have a video on youtube I can post later.

I dig all y'alls rigs, if i had that kind of scratch. I might big balla.
But for all you big boy diesels. My 10 year old 5.2 pulls all over Texas with no problemo. And I havent had a truck payment in 8 years

'98 dodge ram 5.2. 2,4 drop. Helper bags in the rear. Steal roll panned up, etc, etc. Pulls like a champ!

The tahoe does great but so does the Dodge. Come on warm weather!!!

thats sick nice flat black

not my boat...but my truck and me drivin through the subway drive through

Well I just decided to put this one for sale - sent me a pm if interested - 20K OBO. I hate to do it - but you you gotta do what you gotta do.

this whole thing looks like a setup for a bad gay joke misquote...

Had to get rid of the diesel. The new truck hopefully will be "set up" this summer! (Hope for a good HAIL season!!!) Otherwise the boat is usually behind the RV. Then the beater is the launch vehicle for the lake. We don't have a ramp. Just sand!! Come on summer!!!!!

Here's my rig !!!

Summer Toy's

cmosley - where the HELL did you get that amazing RV! Good god that thing is beautiful. How's it run? And how much did you spend on that bad boy.

i've been wanting to get an ol boy like that, gut it, clean it, and live in that bad boy every weekend.
