I have a 72 fj40 and i just put a tow bar on it .. my question is when i tow can i just put her in neutral and im ready to tow? Thanks guys !
 
I would remove the rear drive shaft if your traveling any length of distance. My '72 3spd transfer case turned the front drive shaft while in neutral if towed. Seemed like a lot of unneccessary wear on seals, etc. Its just 4 bolts and your safe either way. You might also check you alignment and make sure you have slight toe-in. This has been discussed many times before.
 
thanks guys .. and thanks for the thread link .. i dont know how i missed this one ! must not have looked hard enough! Thanks !
