You know for the cost of meals and gas and the fact your only gong about
350 miles according to your earlier post you might be better off using a
transporter. To keep the cost way down just use one that transports in
an open trailer instead of an enclosed one. If I remember right for that
distance they are not that expensive.

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
