I am looking at flat towing my stock '71 FJ40 to Colorado from Georgia. I will be driving a stock 1991 K5 Blazer. Is this a good idea?
Background: I am in the Army and finally coming back to America. I will be home in Georgia for vacation before driving the K5 Blazer to Colorado. I want to take the FJ40 with me, but not sure if a 1991 K5 Blazer is up to the task. The Blazer is completely stock and so is the FJ40 - down to the 4 wheel drums and column shifter. The Blazer will be gone through and every fluid replaced. Maybe a brake job.
Time and ability is not an issue, just the short wheelbase of the Blazer is my concern.
And yes, I did search and found out x-fer in neutral with it xms in first gear with the front hubs unlocked. I'll even remove the rear drive shaft.
Thanks
