Thanks D, It's too hot this time of the year to ride the buggy locally, but I am planning a trip to Coral Pink Sandunes in Southern UT in a few weeks. It's cooler there, and will take care of my sandbuggy jones for a while. Halloween is the first big weekend, and Memorial day the last around here.
I went to the DMV yesterday, and got new plates for it. It was cool to finally load it up to try it out. I tested it with about 20 highway miles up a pretty decent grade. I hardly know it's back there. It tows really nice. Just what I was hoping for. The real test will be with fuel mileage. I get a little more than 16mpg average on the highway with my 305 Vortech / 390 Holley / Saginaw 4-Speed / .373 gear combo that I'm running. I was getting just over 10mpg towing my other trailer. I'm hoping for a big improvement, because the recent price of fuel has kept me close to home.
