Need a Spot
Can anyone recommend a CHEAP specific tow bar to pull my 87? The search function didn't seem to work, although I did get the point about dropping the driveshaft when towing.

Body Damage is Cool
I use the one from JCWhitney (~$100) to flat tow my Runner.

I agree with fourwd1, that JCWhitney would be the best choice.

You can also try Wal-Mart as that is where I bought mine (Reese - $70, but was on clearance...).

Roll Me Over
If you are going to flat tow, you MUST disconnect the rear drive shaft.

I have nothing important to say.
