OK peeps !
Going down to Goulbourn 2morro I left a wittle Daihatsu diesel 4wd there a few years back on a property that I used to visit. Great little 4wd it was untill the owners kids blew up the gearbox playing stupid buggers, anywayswas going to buy another unregistered small 4wd but reckon y not just replce the gearbox on this one nothing wrong with the rest of the mechanicals on this one I hope. Anyways many many moons ago I saw these 2 guys tow a VW buggy out to a property the buggy was registered as a trailer & a removeable A Frame was used to tow the buggy with. Has anyone done this B4 or have any knowledge of wots required to get it registered as a trailer ?????? --------------------  Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

why not just buy something thats regod and drive it where your hunting and use it ,saves dragging around a big trailer and then finding somewhere to store it

Because to have a register 4wd here in Sydney will cost around $1,500 a year & you still need to store it + wot ever you get will be a piece of sh*t & I wouldn't want to drive it out woop woop & back every trip.
If you get a small 4wd which is the ideal car to get then you cant carry to much in it. Get a big 4wd & it wont be as good off road either way if you get stuck you dont have a back up vehicle. I'm sending Dave down to Bungonia to retrieve my Daihatsu it's the ideal 4wd will go anywhere & to boot it's desiel & geared low -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

actually that reminds me ,when i was towing home the buggy we got pulled up by the cops and because it was unregod he could of fined us for that but he wasnt sure ,a couple days later he rang me and said he would let us off but that was the rule if its unregod it has to go on a trailer because it dont have any type of insurance in case of an accident

Jumpus, An Engineer certified A frame Is worth about $4000 all lights and brakes must work on towed vehicle,
Most small 4wd's manufactured before 1990 can be carried on a 10x5 trailer but later models need a 10x6 which is what my trailer I use behind the Bus is. the rego cost is about $140 it has override brakes and is registered at 2000kg. -------------------- I WANNA GO: FISHIN WITH SUMO.

QUOTE (jasonb @ Jan 9 2008, 09:59 PM)  i dont know if ya can do that ,never heard of that before ??????????? Yep Yep I've seen it done jason it was many moons ago & the reson I asked the Q These 2 guys had registered a VW beetle as a trailer it had it's own A Frame & they would tow it behind VW fastback which had a bigger motor, when I asked them how bad it struggled up hills the reply was one of them would jump out start the towed buggy up & they'd use both motors to get up hills, same if they got in trouble on a wet dirt track etc they virtually had 4wd between the 2 cars. SUMO ! The whole idea was not to have a trailer tried to avoid the pain in the arse chore of drive on drive off a trailer strap everything down etc but I've come to realise & re think that when I saw it done nearly 28 years ago now the laws would've been not as tuff as they are today. And to do what I wanted to do would not be a worthwhile project financially so I'm getting what I originally allways wanted & thats a motor bike -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
