    Did you even read those threads? The last one has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand (it talks about CV boots getting torn by towing on a rollback) and NONE of those threads answer the question of why changing out the transfer case would allow 4 down towing.

    I'm just trying to learn something NEW here...

    ...I already know how to use the search function!
    Yep... read every word...I was trying to illustrate that towing the VX is mostly, not recommended.

    I'm very happy that you know how to use the search function...

    I think Crotchrocket might have the best idea.

    But why? What would swapping out the transfer case change? That's all I'm asking!

    What's the difference between putting some other transfer case in neutral and pulling the VX behind an RV - and putting the existing transfer case in neutral and pulling it behind an RV? All I can think of is several thousand dollars and a lot of aggrevation but there's probably more to the story and it got me curious and that's why I'm asking.

    BTW LBub, I've decided that, although I DO know how to use the search button, you are so good at it that I'm going to stop using it and instead I will post my inane questions then wait for you to post the search results as links - that way all I have to do is click my mouse. Sweet, huh? We're going to have to talk about quality control though. I'm still not sure what damaged CV boots due to improper tie down on a rollback has to do with towing but I'll have another cup of coffee and maybe it will come to me.

    Did it come to you yet?...

    This sentence from the last post is what I was getting at, by including that particular thread...

    [Quote] I knew to always use a flatbed when moving the VX [quote]

    Which again illustrated that flat towing the VX is ill advised.

    Sorry if you feel that I caused you an unjust amount of extra reading...

    You might want to add me to your "ignore" list, to prevent future over reading...
