ParticipantFWIW, I pull a Harbor Freight trailer behind my 2006 Mazda6 wagon. I had to drill some holes in the bottom of the spare tire well. Not sure how the Speed is different in the back, or maybe the bodywork is too low to accommodate a hitch receiver?

ParticipantIm sure I could weld a hitch on no problem and haul it around without any issue’s. Im trying to keep the daily clean/off the highways for the miles/ no rock chips(im keeping this thing untill it stops). I don’t mind spending a little cash on a beater for the hobby, plus i’m looking for a utility vehicle for my rental. Thanks though.

ParticipantI’d think you could burn the hell out of some fuel in the suburban for years before the cost would offset another vehicle.
I did the $200 trailer behind my daily driver for a few years. It is wildly cheap, but packing/unpacking it got a little old.

ParticipantI can usually get a good runner for about a grand as far as a beater truck/van goes.
Looks like I can get an aerostar/astro van for about a grand at the moment, no power breaks and all the time im putting into the burbs body work makes it worth the cash.


This is a roll on rustoleum paint job BTW, the last picture is after wet-sanding and polishing
Plus, gas may be around 4 bucks with summer. Not sure I could get better than 10mpg on my burb 😆

ParticipantThis one is done now but it would be a little more than a grand. http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/ae157/Freezeman_photos/09Fathersday076.jpg

Good looking Chevy mayne!Picked this AWD astro van that runs better than a swiss watch up for 800 last night
It has the chevy go fast paint. The faster you go the faster it peels off(will repaint these sections soon/make the wheels black)
Now I just need a kart :rotate:

Going to clean it up/ add a tool box, might see about turning the a/c into a air compressor for tire pressure. Or just pick up a bottle for air, either way….Dedicated tow rig for 8hundo!!! :hehehe Cleaning it up changing the fluids,ect this weekend.
I actually feel bad about taking out the seats out, they are in awsome shape/crazy clean. - AuthorPosts
