That was one of my ideas, but unfortunately.. the Rancharger is closer to
the project side than the towing side. right now it can barely pull itself
otherwise, we'd have just driven it home under its own power.
We're trying to find someone we know that we can buy meals & gas for that
has a truck & trailer big enough to move it.
thanks for trying
