    LDUB and his super amazing use of the search function to the rescue again, thanks man! why dint I think of that.

    Well, that's a bummer, I was afraid there would be no easy way to do it. Personally, I'm not a fan of towing anything 4-down...why put unnecessary mileage on a vehicle (especially a rare one).

    I'll let him know this is probably not the best fit for him. Thanks everyone.

    you can flat bed it.....
    And just another FYI, IIRC, you can NOT use a tow dolly on the front or rear wheels either, forward or backwards....flat bed is the only way without modifying as mentioned.

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    When Travelin2 sold his VX, he sold me the components that he installed so the 2 threads mentioned by Ldub are what my setup will be.

    Almost.

    If you install the lock-out hubs (less than $100), you can dolly it from the rear.

    BTW, with the driveshaft disconnect, the mileage won't register on the ODO.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    Yes Dear.

    How-some-ever, ifn you were to ask yer technoid hubby I'm sure he would back me on the fact that due to the cost, labor, & reverse installation (to revert to stock configuration) involved, adding front lockout hubs does not fall within the true definition of 'modification'. Would you consider adding a cupholder a 'modification'???

    WOO-WOO-WOO!!! Dawgs rule ... & Cats drool. Score one for the technoids.

    The scarey part is that I don't do coffee at all. I'm strung out on Iced Tea (0500-0800) & Mountain Dew (0800-1600). There's a reason for the set schedule but you don't wanna know.
