My summer dog days tow vehicle project (90% done)

Featured Replies

I got sick of worrying about getting stuck in the mud due to the low lake levels here in FL. The summer dog days gave me the time to try and solve this with an old beater truck I bought.

I hope this will work now after a complete drivetrain and suspension replacement (and a few extras).

I'm about ready for fall and catching a slew of dinks (I'm good at catching them).

Do you think this will work?

I really don't know because I can't see very clearly with all of the tears in my eyes ..... but I do know that the pump sounds like a never ending slot machine :)

and it only gets about 8 mpg, at least my Jeep gets 9 mpg.

I had a full size dodge that averaged around 8MPG, I've since switched to a GMC canyon that gets anywhere from 18 to 22 with full synthetic. It's an awesome feeling knowing that I only need to fill up 3 times a month. I have a jeep as well that pulls in about 6. Now that's a guzzler.
