Tentatively leaving here this coming Saturday night and heading over and up to NC to pick up my next project. Got an M211 from CBRmetalworks, so if everything goes alright I will be flat towing it all the way home. He says I'm crazy, I can't disagree.

That will be hot and slow. Wanna put an Ontos in the deuce for ballast and bring it back for me? (Kidding)

Oh boy, hope your butt is made of something strong!! Hope it all goes well, best of luck!!

Don't forget your chain to secure the steering wheel of the towed vehicle...

. I've flat towed lots of G749s and they tow ok with the steering wheel loose.

Just because I seem to remember some odd comment about it somewhere, are the shackle mounts on the M211 1", or 15/16'? Michael, I'm going to bring your tires to you when I come through. Hope you have a way to unload them. You still have a set of tow lights I can borrow?
I think I am going through Atlanta, so maybe I can link up with some members of this infamous "Georgia Mafia".

Hope you're taking the southern route through Mobile, rather than Birmingham. Those hills between B'ham and Atlanta would make for some slow speeds on the interstate. My butt hurts just thinking of that drive - 3 hrs in a spring seat is about my max. before stopping, and 8 hrs a day is a loooonnng day.

Yeah, I'll text you the address where to bring them. I have the iv cable I made and could fab up something with the lights that toaster gave you with an angle piece from home depot, and some magnets. Be yours to keep if as I really don't have a need for it, and they are your lights, lol
