I was considering flat towing the 60 using a tow bar is that a bad idea ?

Maybe not if you're towing with something that weighs at least 3 tons.
John, I may have a white door and lift gate for your 60 if you want them...Might not be for a while but you can just have them. They arent really 100% rust free, but they may be better than what you got.

That sounds great John. The doors now are about shot.
Ive done it for short distances, not faster than 50mph. I wont go cross state like that. and for SURE remove the driveshafts to make sure you dont have a problem!
I flat towed the 40 from Green Bay with the FJC. I just disconnected the drive shafts on the 40 and cruised the limit in 4th gear. Horrible mileage but I got it home without incident.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll probably just drive it and hope I dont break anything while playing

I just found out I have no recovery points on the 60 except the trailer hitch so I need to devise some type of pull points. Any ideas ?
There is an attachment point for a recovery hook on the top of the frame. There's a cut out on the top of the bumper, passenger side. You can go to VatoZone or O'Reemly's Auto parts and pick up a decent hook there and attach it to the frame.
How expensive is it to rent a trailer for a day or weekend? I have never looked into renting one, but if the cost is reasonable, I dont think it would be a bad idea to rent one for a little peace of mind and safer than devising pull points. If you already looked into a trailer disregard

There's no cut-out on this bumper so I must fabricate my own custom tow points. I found 4 places to bolt on the ends of the frame rails. Right now I have no money so I must improvise. Anybody need a bolt-on trailer hitch for a 60 ?
Thanks
John

I plan on driving to CTJ next week. I hope not to need a trailer afterwards. I should be ok as long as I dont follow Phil to close. Thanks for the offer of the trailer Gumby
how is your pig getting there?
Those are hurtful comments John.
I'm wheeling the Berg and my camp chair.
