How to tow a fox body?

[JohnVH]

Has anyone come up with a good way to tow one? Not talking a trailer or dolly, but with a tow strap or chain? Ive thankfully never had a break down, but if I did, not sure how Id tow the dang thing home?

i tied off to the upper radiator support but i only tow it around the yard

 

[JohnVH]

ok, not doing that to mine. anyone else?

 

[Ozz]

 

[JohnVH]

what does that tie into? Im assuming not the shock/bumper mount?

I've tied a tow rope around the k-member and had to tow it home a few miles a couple times.

tow strap around the A-pillars. Just dont jerk it too hard or the whole damn windshield gives out...

+1 for me.

I've used the k-member method as well fortunately I was only a few blocks away and towed it home with my riding lawn mower.

we have a tow hook on the cage that wraps around the core support. we also have tabs on the K member we can use

+1 for k-member

The K member probably is the best idea, I just dont want to wreck my front bumper though.

Divide the load by using a couple of straps linked together, and then put a towel between them and the front bumper. I've done this on damn near every car I've owned without any issues or scratches.

you need to stop getting cars that break down so much.

 

[JohnVH]

LOL. Luckily, Ive never had a break down. But now that I said that Im sure itll happen.

 

[FastDriver]

No kidding, Mob.

'93 Honda Accord (bad alternator, & front axle cv joints numerous times)
'89, '91, & '92 Mustang (various reasons, though I'm not sure if I ever had to tow the '89)
'97 Vette (blew up the tranny within 500 miles of a rebuild - they re-did it for free)
'90 GMC Suburban (countless issues)

The one exception: '95 BMW 318i (never had to tow it... yet)

I would have loved to have seen this going down the road

It was pretty funny looking. It was my old 87 and I had put a engine in it and luckily was still in the neighborhood when the tfi module took a crap. It seemed a little overkill to use my f-250 to tow it a couple blocks.

If you tell me you were wearing an AC/DC t-shirt and were drinking a tall boy while towing it home, you will make my horrible day that much better.

Thanks, and Gig 'em.
