Dub,

We are aimin' to attend. Prolly won't be able to spend the full week (on account of 3 days drivin to get there & 3 days drivin to get home) but hope to get in a full 3 days of wheelin' (& teachin certain children to respect their betters).

Prolly be TOAD'n the VX behind the RV & camp rather than staying at Red Rock.

Which brings up the question of "can the VX be flat towed or need to be trailered"??

Only I can ... I'm special.

I bought Travelin2's set up whenever he sold his VX. You can find his old threads where he went into detail of how he got'r done.

Basically, I have lockout hubs up front to disconnect the front wheels & a driveshaft quick disconnect for the rears. I'm freewheeling when towing except for the rear pumpkin.

Oooh, mucho dineros! Maybe cheaper to rent a trailer and less trouble for me.

Wasn't an option for me. U-Haul wouldn't let me put my VX on one of their trailers because of the offset (my tires touch the side walls).

Actually, the conversion shouldn't be too bad if you know someone who can fix driveshafts. The disconnect kit was for a Ford Exploder. The hubs can be sourced from a Trooper or bought new for not too much.

EDIT:

Here's the linky for how Travelin2 did it:

& to answer Marlin's question in that thread: Yes, the disconnect can disengage whilst driving ... but only if you let Boy go wheeling in it & he buries it to the frame & the throw lever gets bent to sh1t & he doesn't tell you & you are 200 miles from home & tools when it happens. Luckly, I was able to just twist a cupla things outta the way and re-engage it by hand.
