Hey everyone. New member and (almost) new owner of a 1968 Land Rover Series IIA.
Haven't seen it yet, but pictures look great and previous owner assures me its in good shape, runs well, etc. Only problem is getting it home. Its 800 miles away.
I have an 06 Odyssey which Uhaul will rent a vehicle dolly for. So if I understand correctly, to do this, I have load her up and then disconnect the rear drive shaft... Can someone tell me how to do that?
I would like to use a flat trailer, but I don't own/can't borrow a truck large enough to use a vehicle trailer from uhaul, and to rent a truck/trailer from them is so expensive I might as well have a shipping company do it (~$1300).
Only other option is I could rent a Tahoe (~$425) and tow a vehicle trailer with it, but that would be 'against the rules'.
So is it OK to trailer on a vehicle dolly for 800 miles with the drive shaft detached as long as the tires are good and full of air?
I'm excited, but bummed out about not being able to tow the way I want to (flat trailer). Any other ideas?
Thanks
