My trip from south Florida to Michigan to pickup my second truck. On the way up I stopped in Ocala(vinny-socom1) and picked up four 11:00 x 20 tires with rims for gimpyrobb in Ohio. I also stopped in north Ga to pickup a M151 for ida34 in Michigan. Glad I could help them out with the transport.
As for the second truck all I had to do was replace the batteries, change the fuel filter and replace the starter. It started right up:-D
When I got it home I washed all the mud from under the truck ( they went mudding before they turned it in to GL)
The topper was in bad shape so I gave it to my brother in Michigan.
I'll post more pictures later.

Nice looking A3, any chance you could take a pic of the rear sway bar mounting config?, I have an A3 I'm trying to make whole again, and need some shots of the rearend sway bar setup. Is your tow rig a 1008 with a 6.2?

Thanks,
Ed

I'll go take and post some pictures a little later today.
My tow rig is a M1028(6.2/TH400/NP205) pulled the 6120 lb truck at 65 mph (45 mph up a few big hills)with no problems.

I have a 95 gallon fuel tank in the bed that adds a little weight also:)
Best price on fuel was in GA at 187.99 a gallon(cash)
