Soonto_HAS_soop Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 sizes etc to enable me to move Supra's. Can't you just measure one of the fleet on the forecourt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Get the widest you can afford. If memory serves me correctly, I needed one that was at least 7' wide and with no sides to fit the Orange beast with spacers and a full body kit.

Gaz Walker Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 As Joe says, 7'+ for Supras/Skylines. You need one with longish ramps to clear bodykits etc and deffinitely twin axel. Also think about a winch or a sliding frame version to get broken cars onto. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually bid on that but then decided against it until I had peoples opinions. What do you folks think? Would this do the job? Being towed by a Pajero type thing? I would love to tow in my automatic Celica but somehow dont think it would last too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise that he says ok for Supras, but it would be way to close for my liking. The ramps would most likely be touching or just about to touch the bodywork IMO. I would not want to see my pride and joy being carted on that. Also there is no winch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Thank's Joe. My knowledge of these things is pretty much non existant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Gte a twin axle wheels under deck flat bed, then you can find dozens of other uses for it. I have bought and sold loads of car transporter trailers over the years, i have yet to see a decent one under about 900 quid, used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outatime Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I've got an Ifor Williams twin-axle, beaver-tail flat bed that fits the Supra on easily. I can measure it tomorrow if you want, i've got no plastic tat stuck on my car though and it is at stock ride height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
