Yesterday my friend was over picking up some electrical supplies I got, and mentioned flat towing. Since he found his tow bar for his Land Cruiser which is at the shop. Getting back on the road, and upgraded as I type.

My Willys is on a 1988 F150 chassis, has a 109" wheelbase, will sit roughly 6'6" tall, and weigh 4000 loaded. I know I will or should disconnect the drive shafts, and tie them up to the frame.

But how would flat towing the above with a 73-91 Suburban be? Is that asking for trouble or is it safe enough. If one drives like they are in fact towing.

Sounded like a neat idea as in no trailer to me.
