Towing four wheels down

[etennessen]

Just a quick note to thank all of those who previously posted on towing the bronco. I just finished a 4400 mile RV trip towing my 68 with all four wheels down. I read through all of the previous posts before deciding to disconnect my rear drive shaft.

As many of the posts said, it was very simple. Disconnect two u-bolts, tape the caps, and strap the drive shaft up and out of the way. Towed like a charm with no problems.

So, where did you go?

Good call on disconnecting the drive shaft. We burned up a t-case on our old one by leaving it connected.

They are to the point and very uncomplicated aren't they?. Hell the book for the radio in my Focus has more pages than the Bronco owners manual.

Very uncomplicated. My tech skills are limited to changing the oil, and I figured this one out.

We towed through fifteen states, starting in California, through Colorado to South Dakota, then down through Texas and back home.

I flat tow my 73 also.Twin stick makes it easy to move when you unhook for the day.Just lock the hubs and put it in front drive.Just be sure the rear is in neutral.
