I've used StaBil for years, and it works. Well, up to two years anyway under less than ideal circumstances.
Recently switched over to Star-Tron, which seems to do a better job.
The key to keep it usable longer is well sealed containers, regardless of the material. But gas with ethanol can still stratify over time if not treated.
That would be my main concern. The car was built to be supported by the tires, not closer to the center.
Temporarily lifting it up to work on it won't make it go bananas (so to speak), but over time I'd think it could deform a bit.
I looked into the Harbor Freight winches when needing one for a vehicle last year.
While the prices were quite appealing, there were far too many reviews of broken and non-functional winches for my liking. Recently I decided to put a winch on a trailer, and bypassed Harbor Freight again, for...
I get it. It's just that I prefer a larger safety margin.
We have comparable weight cars on the trailers, but the largest difference is in the tow vehicles. Mine has a longer wheelbase than a crew cab longbed pickup, and weighs about 9,400 lbs.
Also, the inherent stability of the gooseneck...
Primarily it's because the straps generally are touching each other, which will result in wear.
But also, unless the anchor points are a long distance away, the angle lessens the effective strength of the straps quite a bit. If perfectly in line they are at 100% of the WLL, but any angle will...
And you never should have.
There must be a 1,000 ways to tie down a vehicle, but unfortunately very few of those ways are correct.
Then again, what you tow with and how the towed vehicle is tied down doesn't really matter...until one day it does.
Maybe we should give the greenies a bit of credit after all.
They could've saved the Buffalo, NY, situation had they been allowed to present their new generator that runs on electricity.
In my case they knew I'd trailer it, but that didn't seem to matter.
Also ran into issues when trying to get an Audi RS6 from Arizona that my girlfriend had ordered. That dealer had a short list of approved shippers (brokers, actually) that could pick the car up.
Reliable Carriers wasn't on...
That's only the beginning. I found a really nicely priced Challenger in CA, and later an Audi at a good price.
Learned from the attempt at buying the Challenger that not only did one of the rebates only apply to CA residents, but the real kicker was that it would've had to be registered there...
That is very kind of you, but keep in mind that not only do they have to deal with Furds, but also the kind of people that want to buy them.
(Obviously I had CC in mind)
