I am moving from NY to Idaho for the summer to work and would VERY MUCH like to tow my '67 SIIa 88 with my '94 Disco. Does anyone have any suggestions? If I had time, I would weld up my own trailer but I think I might have to settle for renting a tow dolly from U-Haul. People keep telling me to just leave the series home, but what the hell did I just build it for, to let it sit all summer in the driveway instead of letting it play in the Sawtooth Mountains? Anyway, what do you think? Ethan M. ewmakaro@hotmail.com | ||

Towing behind the Disco, you should just flat tow the 88. A trailer, especially a heavy Uhaul trailer will be too much for the Disco. Drop the front and rear propshafts from the 88, and tow away. Ron Ward | ||

if you don't want to drop the driveshafts you can tow it with the transmission in 4th gear and the transfer case in neutral. personally, if I were going to tow it that far, I'd disconnect the driveshafts like Ron suggests. Any farther of a tow from Vegas to Moab and I'm dropping the driveshafts on the Serious One. I've been towing it all over the place in 4th/neutral with no problems whatsoever. Oh, get the 88 an alignment. It'll tow much better, and get some GOOD towing lights. Get a tow bar from your local RV shop and get to it. |
