I have a sankey sittin in deepest Bristol (cheers Bubba and Nosebolt) and have a prob: Chief nato hitch currently sits at 14" high, Sankey hitch sits at 29" high, I can get an adjustable adaptor plate that will take the Chief to 20-21" ish high, but im guessin that plod wont appreciate me cruisin down the m/way with a sankey at that angle - correct?
If i am correct, any ideas?
Its a pian in the arse, coulda done with it a dozen times in the last few months.
At the moment im guessin I will have to wait until the CJ is done :010:
-
i towed it behind my grand wagoneer and several chiefs dont be a poof just get a riser plate and dont open the tailgate with the sankey on you the sankey wont hurt if ita litle nose down it tows leval behind big red but dives on chugga but still works fine......note to self chugga is just to close to the floor
-
was thinkin nose divin trailer would be a big no-no, but suppose i can blame you when im pickin up fines :003:
note to u: chugga also needs a proper engine
-
dunno bout the legality never thought to much a bout it whilst always nice to achive you dont see many single axle trailers that are towed perfectly leval and the old sanleys used to be nose down behind most military landys anyhoo the newr widtracs are better behind curant landys
but you would not be over loaded or anything so i dont see any probs lets ask the doom and gloom gods if they know
-
Nosebolts 4.2 and that would be all, the rest would be in the Chief
-
My sankey rides nose down on the TJ.
Took a long drive up the m6 that way, no problems.
It rode a bit more level coming home, might have been due to the 360 sat in it :003:
:greggmo:
-
aahhhh a 360 :F2963JIF5GDQOXEMEDIUM:
-
Give it to me instead, it'd be about the right height for my XJ
-
mmm
-
note to self yeah v8 would seem a good idea
-
Give it to me instead, it'd be about the right height for my XJ
errrrrrr, nope :003:
only been waitin for it for about 18 months :011: (my fault tho)
-

Packet of Jaffa Cakes and a pork and pickle pie?
:icon_twisted:
-
mmm pork and pickle i shoulda took it to jamses house in the first place
-
stuck in poxy traffic and missed the auction end :banghead:
-
what were ya after now
-
tis where u replied in sale/wanted
-
a plan has formed, completely forgot the older bruv has an old landie, so will risk the journey (& embarrassment) in that
-
:078:
-

your right elbow will get cold.......
-
you have a 401 powered cj7 :icon_super: and thats the best you can do to tow a trailer :steeringwheel: man you oughta forfit your jeeps for that kinda shame :hysterical: :hysterical:
-
your right elbow will get cold.......
:017:
-
As it hangs out the window..
-
i see, dont think it will go fast enuff to get a cold breeze goin tho :003:
-
you will have to park around the corner and drag the trailer by hand till out of sight :wave-fingersmiely:
-
o dont worry you will be cold
-
:003: looks like im in for a good trip then !
the conundrum is if its hot do i whip the top off and catch some rays, but at the same time double the risk of bein seen in it :017:
-
it will when the snow comes again next feb when you are on the way back.
-
:hysterical: just what i said to NB, he isnt around until 5 ish when i wanna come down, which is no good for me as i wont get back until dawn next day
-
thinking about it could arrange for Dan to be about if that helps
-
ok, cool, will let u know 2mrw, but if not will try for next monday
-
if you start out in the morning you might make it in time for the pub meet
-
amazingly the landi managed a 320 mile round trip with out failing, and i didnt even bother stoppin it for a rest, mind u, first time i have ever done 300 miles on a motorway and only overtook a grand total of 8 lorries :jpshakehead:
also managed to warp the landi chasis by getting the sankey into an arguement with a kerb when reversing, fuckin tin foil chasis hacks me, my bro, and my wallet off :banghead:
-
first time i have ever done 300 miles on a motorway and only overtook a grand total of 8 lorries :jpshakehead:
were they parked up in the services? :hysterical:
-
and one of them re-overtook me :jpshakehead:
-
well my rock hardnut sankey has managed to fuck that tin rear cross member on the landy so bad that my bro wants me to cough for a new one coz he wants to sell it :jpshakehead: so by the time i have coughed for the new one, plus gettin the old one off and gettin a new one put on i may as well buy the feckin thing and get it done cheaply over a period of time and sell it on myself
woulda been cheaper to get the feckin sankey transported here :jpshakehead:
every time im not skint, summink else comes up :011:
-
no dis-respect to your brother but that rear member must have been soft before you put the trailer on it and lardies are known for having weak ones.

you are all mind readers, coz he got underneath today and the chasis is rotten as rotten under just by the spring hangers so has exonerated me from blame, which means i dont have to buy the bastard :icon_super:
