*Thanks for the thought.  *

Have you thought about renting, buying, or borrowing a 2 wheel tow behind
dolly? Out T3's easily fit on them and they tow great!

Sure seems like alot easier solution, unless you possess Bobs knowledge -
experience - tools - welding skills - supplies and ambition! ;-)

*We towed our front-wheel-drive, 1986 Oldsmobile 88 Brougham, on a tow
dolly for the fist few years of RVing.  It's a PITA!  *

   - *Loading/unloading, (it takes 2 people)*
   - * "hook-up" takes at least 30 minutes (4-wheel down = 10 minutes)*
   - *"dirty", (road grime on ratchets and straps, etc.)*
   - * straps that loosen up,*
   - * 2 more tires .... tire pressure/spindles/bearings to grease*
   - * plus an "extra" piece of equipment to deal with when you arrive at
   your destination.*

*I agree about a one-time rental.  *
*
*
*Bob has been advising me, so I think I've got a pretty good "handle" on
building a Tow Bar.  His experience has been invaluable.  I don't have the
tools, welding skills, supplies, etc.  but I know people who do and can
build with guidance. *
*
*
* I.O.M. (It's Only Money)*
*
*
*And finally, when it's built it may be SALE-able,  when when I no longer
have a need for it.*
*
*
*Anyway, I like the challenge.  *
