    I've also flat-towed with a tow bar. Only went about 100 miles but don't think a longer tow would be a problem so long as the tow rig is up to it. Good tires on the Series, plenty of lube in the diffs and gear boxes, 4th gear in the tranny and neutral in the transfer case. Would consider disconnecting the rear drive shaft if I was going 1000 miles though I don't really know if it is really an advantage. Tow rig was my buds Whipple charged Chevy Z-71. It didn't even seem to notice the Rover behind it.

    I've seen a truck with locking hubs front and back. When I asked what the back ones were for, the fellow pointed at the tow bar and it all made sense to me.

    Seemed like an easy way to unlock everything but I was concerned about the wheel bearings and oil getting to them on long tows...

    Cheers,
