Nevada, but if no responds, you could always rent a tow bar from U-Haul, also a hitch if your veh. is not equiped with one. That would be a turnaround trip for you, and wouldn't cost big $$$$$$$. Just a thought. _________________ http://elcaminocentral.com/gallery-album_CoyoteOn2s77Cage.html Keep the Shiney Side Up The Rubber Side Down !! aka Larry Back to top AceisCracked Wrench Necoa #: 11067 Location: 18(N.CA,N.NV) Joined: Feb 19, 2008 Posts: 27 Year: 1973 Model: El Camino Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2008 11:39 pm    Post subject: I checked uhaul allready, they wont rent a tow bar for a RWD, they require a full flat bed trailer...which requires a lvl 3 hitch...Also, I live up a windy mountain...I don't have any vehicle with a hitch that could tow the beastly elk.

I mean, I could buy a trailor for that price n borrow a truck. No one has a trailor and a free day to help out a norcal guy with a elk and a dream?

I believe you get 4 tows per year and with each tow I think it's the first 10 miles are free, then you pay extra per mile after that. Good luck though, hope you can work something out to get your elk to you. _________________ 1975 El Camino http://elcaminocentral.com/gallery-album_album358.html Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         El Camino Central Forum Index -> Region 18 (N.CA,N.NV) All times are GMT - 6 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forumEl Camino Central Forum Index|--New Members|   |--Announcement|   |--Messages for new forum members|--General Topics|   |--General BS Topics|   |--Site Topics|   |--Legislative Alerts|   |--Product Review|   |--Tips & Tricks|   |--Vendors Forum|   |--Audio|--Body & Chassis|   |--Body Restoration|   |--Electrical Systems|   |--Interior Restoration|   |--Heating & Air Conditioning Systems|   |--Suspension|   |--Detailing|--Drivetrain & Performance|   |--Ignition Upgrades & Discussion Forum|   |--Engine Topics|   |--LT1/LS1/EFI Tech|   |--Performance Modifications|   |--Transmission & Drive line|   |--Brake Systems|--Events & Projects|   |--Calendar of Events|   |--Garage Sales|   |--Wanted Items|   |--Ebay Alert|   |--El Camino 50th Anniversary|   |--All GM Carlsile|--Technical Database|   |--VIN Decoding|   |--RPO Codes|--Regional Discussion Forums|   |--Region 1 (NY)|   |--Region 2 (CT,MA,ME,NH,RI,VT)|   |--Region 3 (DE,NJ,PA)|   |--Region 4 (MD,VA)|   |--Region 5 (NC,SC)|   |--Region 6 (FL)|   |--Region 7 (AL,GA,TN)|   |--Region 8 (OH,WV)|   |--Region 9 (IN,KY,MI)|   |--Region 10 (IL,MN,WI)|   |--Region 11 (IA,NE,ND,SD)|   |--Region 12 (MO,OK,KS)|   |--Region 13 (TX)|   |--Region 14 (AR,LA,MS)|   |--Region 15 (AZ,NM)|   |--Region 16 (CO,MT,WY,UT)|   |--Region 17 (S.CA,S.NV)|   |--Region 18 (N.CA,N.NV)|   |--Region 19 (AK,ID,OR,WA)|   |--Region 20 (HI)|   |--Region 21 Canada (West of Ontario)|   |--Region 22 Canada (East of Manitoba)|   |--Region 23 Mexico|   |--Region 24 Europe|   |--Region 25 (All Other Countries)|--Admininistration|   |--Administration Messages  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB 2.0.8 © 2001 phpBB Group phpBB port v2.1 based on Tom Nitzschner's phpbb2.0.6 upgraded to phpBB 2.0.4 standalone was developed and tested by: ArtificialIntel, ChatServ, mikem, sixonetonoffun and Paul Laudanski (aka Zhen-Xjell).
