Ya, 10 year anniversary.


Btw I shipped my evo on a uhaul trailer from California to Nebraska. Arrived a bit dirty but no issues. I have trailered a few cars cross country on uhaul trailers and never had problems. My only complaint was the lack of power of the Ford trucks I was using.

I just dropped mine off at the shop using Uhaul's pickup and trailer. Only issues is my car is too low and the Voltex diffuser touches the ground.

So I have to use 2X4 to get it up onto the ramps after removing the front bumper (Voltex) and then also removing the side skirts (Chargespeed) and then the oil cooler. Then and only then can I get it onto a Uhaul with no issues.

Mine is dropped on robispec springs so the drop isn't really drastic. I was able to barely clear the drop down fender on the trailer, but was able to open the drivers door all the way.

I've used the U-Haul trailer several times before. It's perfectly fine for your vehicle, cover it and go.

I used the u-haul auto trailer (looks exactly like that budget one posted above) to tow my car 6 hours away. Didn't have any issues with clearance, the car arrived really dirty but had no issues otherwise.

this is how low she sat:


tow:

I didnt take the time to read everyones post but....

recently I had my evo towed on a uhaul they have a trailer for suvs/awd cars

fair warning there are two metal tire guard things in the front of the trailer your evo wont fit on unless you take those off (then again mine is lowered so maybe it will work with not lowered)

other than that it fit perfect and hauled fine. It is expensive as **** though

54 for trailer

20 for truck if you need one

.50 a mile (alot more than you would think haha)

then a charge if you drop it off at a seperate location. I think it is like a $100 charge or something idk.
