Hey Mike, where at in Ohio? You live in northern IL? Near/in Chicogo?
I currently have a two wheel dolly.. but you would have to drop your rear
driveshaft...
Of course, gas ain't free 8-) I could see if I can swing a trip in, with
you helping drive of course... let me check things out... and let me know
where in Ohio you are.
