Towing an FJ62: Now not so urgent...
Well in short, my FJ62 doesn't tow well. I fab'd a great tow bar, mounts to the frame, got everything figured out...I thought. Here's what happens. Pulls straight no problem, but as soon as the tow vehicle what to make a turn, the 62 tires want to stay straight. For example if the tow vehicle turns right, the cruiser wants to stay straight, so the tires turn hard left, and never come around, they just drag.
I found this out on a test tow, never even made it out of the parking lot we were in. Anyone with advice would be much appreciated. I really hope someone has experienced this before and can tell me exactly what the problem is...I know that is wishful thinking.
FJ62: 3" Lift, 33" BFG, new TRE's, rebuilt Steering Gear Box, both knuckles recently rebuilt.
I imagine their is something wrong with my suspension, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks
