CAUTION: Rant follows................
How many incidents is it gonna take before people understand one of the BASIC laws of Physics (and towing) is that you always tow with something BIGGER than what you are towing!!! And especially deuces, which have a mind of their own on NDT's, and I'll bet 95% get towed with no brakes. Hey, I understand most everyone out here is on a budget, and you try to work with what you got, but PUULLLEEEEEZZE, use some sense. If you are on a tight budget now, just think what your economic forecast looks like when an accident happens and you get your azz sued off, cause your insurance company is gonna decline the claim because you were operating your vehicle outside of the policy parameters. Whenever possible, these trucks should be trailered long distance. I myself have mechanically sound deuce, but I wouldn't even consider towing another truck with it out on the highway. Yeah, down the street or across town, but not over 35 mph (isn't there a reference somewhere re: towbar speeds?). And another thing, don't be driving your "junk" out there on the highway endangering MY life. Not going to mention any names, but I recently trailered a deuce for someone, that had severe gear oil leaks, sponges for brakes, etc. etc. People, if we don't clean up our act with these vehicles and police "ourselves", state DOT's are going to do it FOR us! And I don't think any of us want that. The more stupid crap that gets pulled out there only draws more "unwanted" attention to our hobby.

The podium is yours...........
