cyrusthevirus Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 this truck is so tough true after 700 miles of a 1300 mile trip the alternator failed but no real issues some minor hand tools could not fix ,good thing as tools were packed boxed in to keep the tweeks from getting the better of me pics are from La grand Oregon there was a 510 guy there that loved to see the project wagon i told him that he needs to check out ratsun had to get a drop hitch before actual highway travel that being said the tow bar was free but the short wheel base made for some really scary times,as with a tow dolly the strech added stability and wieght but travel was safer truck, tow bar , wagon got to do a 180 on I 84 because i was going to fast 50 mph on snow and ice add a pot hole truck sways and the wagon whiplashed bingo good times ill never need to revisit Quote Link to comment
