Do you see any problem with me towing this thing on a dolley?   Phillip Perkinson (R0ver4x4) Posted on Monday, March 04, 2002 - 09:58 pm:    nope   Ali Posted on Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 11:57 am:    Even w/o the diffs? The end of the axles won't be flopping around or anything at speeds?   Ron Posted on Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 12:04 pm:    Now an 87 should have wet hubs which means that w/o oil in it you could potentially damage the bearings (I think I am just speculating) You should definately pull the shafts out if you do flat tow it. Put it on a trailer if you are going any distance. Ron   Ali Posted on Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 02:17 pm:    Oh yeah, I forgot, I pulled the shafts out too. In that case, no problemo with flat towing 20 miles. Thanks Ron
