Are you saying your mighty little Triton cant yank an engine-less FTO home?

A sh*tty UHaul trailer got my 'complete' parts FTO home from Goulburn for the grand total of 80 bucks...
Only just saw everything in here 8O

@Bennoz: Given the number of times I had to drag lawso's car around, you know the mighty triton can drag an FTO around. :lol:
@Phil: Cheers mate, any luck as yet? Might just bite the bullet and buy one come next pay check.

I know the U-Haul ones are capable, but the first time I used one was towing the fto to your place, and when I got there the wheel nuts were ALL loose (yes, should have checked at the start, learnt lesson and everything). Aside from that, I'm going to have to swap tow-bars over as my rear bar isn't rated correctly... (idiots that built it did the rating for the 2wd instead of 4wd...)

I can tow a rental, would just prefer to use a maintained trailer if possible. ;)
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver

Yep, time to make sure you have the weekend set aside everyone. For those of you that are new, you are welcome to come.Look at page 1 of this thread. This is the one event of the year that tends to get an interstate turnout, so youll see more FTO's in one place than you are ever likely to see anywhere else.
