I tried to tow mine with both in neutral and got the same result. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Why is this???

Also.. do your states have any laws requiring the vehicle to be registered or insured with any wheels touching the ground (ex.. in PA, you could be ticketed for not carrying insurance on the vehicle in tow if it was on a dolly or being flat towed.

I've flat-towed mine a bunch of times. Just put the tranny shifter in neutral and leave the t-case shifter in 2H.

Regarding mounting the towbar the front of the rig, don't trust drilling into and mounting it to the front bumper. A buddy of mine did that and over time he ended up pulling it through the thin wall of the bumper. Try to mount it to the frame.

Also, don't forget to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery, put the key in the ignition, and unlock the steering wheel for the duration of towing (unless you feel like making turning more like a thrill-ride <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />).

Jason,

I have all those pieces and regularly use them to get Monteros and Raiders. My concern when hitching up is the threads for the welded nuts that retain the bumper bolts. The last Raider that I towed (mine) is sketchy. When I towed Ray's former blue Monty (now our Molly), no sweat - everything was in great shape. Once I find someone to weld for me, I'm planning on a different removable mount for the tow bar. The observation about the bumper fatigue above is getting to be a concern to me, if just for public safety. For a one time trip, I wouldn't worry.
