I got some pics of the starting point of my resurrection of my 95 yuk i purchased for 1k. she needs a lot of work to bring her back to life. new engine windshield rear doors mirrors door handles. pretty much lots of tlc and time.. also i will be lifting the body back up and replacing the body mount bolts with grade 8 bolts for my own peace of mind as it has a 3 inch body lift already and i don't trust other peoples work. what do you guys think.

btw burb.... im moving to oak grove some time around memorial day.. so ill be closer.. thats why i need help getting her home.. she is in tonganixie ks... need to get her to oak grove....

 

[07Burb]

Wow....when were you thinking of making this move? Is she driveable now or does it need trailered?

 

[Ironman1979]

she needs to be trailered.. i was wanting to be moved over memorial day weekend.. the guy said she can sit where she is as long as i need to.. but i want my baby close you knwo what i mean

 

[07Burb]

I'll be outta town all weekend that weekend celebrating my nephews birthday out in saint Louis. What exactly do you need help with in the move?

 

[Ironman1979]

i dont have a trailer or a truck big enough for the big ***** or my roomates 01 sliverado with a blown engine

 

[07Burb]

I don't have a trailer either. One thing we did a few times when needing to trailer my 77 around when it wasn't running right was rent a trailer from u-haul. At the time my dad had a big truck that was capable of pulling it. I'm not sure if my burb is equipped for that large of a task or not stock powertrain and suspension....

 

[Ironman1979]

well... heres the problem ... yukon is too wide to fit on the trailer.. already measured it when we went and got my buddys silverado.. the rims and tires are too wide for the trailer

 

[07Burb]

So what needs to happen to move it then? Tow dolly??

 

[Ironman1979]

maybe... or one hell of a tow truck bill.. it would be diff if i was staying in basehor.. id just tow strap it.. but its like 60 miles

how much does a yukon 4x4 weigh.. i am looking for a tow bar now.. ilke they use on rvs

 

[07Burb]

I'm wondering if a tow dolly will work either if it's too wide for a trailer. I'll have to do some thinking on this for you. There's got to be a way to get it where you need it.

Do you happen to have AAA? They'll tow for free up to 100 miles.

Not sure about weight....maybe 4500? might be able to google it...
