    Nice, and creative strapping too. Guess the truck with the wheel lift was busy.

    Don't some of those flattops have a little reacher in the back to tow a second vehicle via it's front end maybe? Or leave it and come back for it on the second trip. Whats the hurry anyhow?

    Yeah, many have a wheel lift for just this situation. It's held on by the pull cable, and the strap to keep it from flopping, but aside from a cop not liking it, it's a front drive mini-van, probably be ok. I wouldn't do that with an Explorer though. These guys probably get paid %, and 2 cars per trip pays better than just one.

    He has to get the front axle under 12k some how.

    As for the wheel lift (reacher bar) there is one on most rollbacks. If I don’t have a car in tow I can’t place a car in the top rack due to front axle being a little over at 14000+ pounds.

    Proof that two wheel lift option is a waste of money.

    That was taken yesterday at a strip mall off 15th street..
    I’m here in Bradenton till March then I start hauling my snowbirds back north.
    I popped over the bridge to your neck of the woods yesterday morning.
    I went to the gun show at the convention center.

    Yep, pretty sure I know exactly where you are. Looks about like 15th st. E & 51st st. E. In Oneco abouts.. (Oh-nee-ko for those who care about pronunciation) I think because of the carwash in the background.

    That's cool. I'm in Benson, AZ at the moment. Bradenton used to be a hidden little gem when I grew up here. Wasn't all bad, but its turning into an east coast hellhole.

    Manatee Civic Center gun show. Bout once a month. Heck of a place for people watching there too..lol Also if you do facebook, which I don't, but my ol' lady does, there is a hilarious page called
    Eff you! I'm from Bradenton! Bunch of silly crap that happens here. Poke around if you need to kill some time..

    Actually might be a public page..?
