Like many, I tow a Suzuki Samurai. It is a fun little car and weighs 1200# LESS than my basic Wrangler. Anyway, when towing a Sammy four wheels down, you have to stop every 200 miles and start the vehicle and run it a bit to lubricate (I assume) the back bearing of the transfer case. The guy in Marshalltown, IA that sells engines and parts and whole cars, suggested to me that I forget all about that process by removing my rear driveshaft, lock up the front hubs, and drive it forever as a front wheel drive car. I wonder if any of you current or former Sammy owners ever tried this. It eliminates the need to stop and also is easier on the transfer case....so I am told. I have removed the rear shaft, locked the hubs, and it drives great. Just wonderin'........Thanks.
