Thanks to all those who advised to me to be careful. I am humbled! For
months now, I have been driving around in the area part of which is
suspected to contain mines-mainly antipersonnel. We use our Toyota
Landcruisers fitted with protective kit. We have not found how protective
it is but it gives us a feeling of security(!) when we set out. No, I am
not taking my MUTT out of the town and in to these areas. It is far
valuable. (So are my legs!)
Last November during the UN evacuation following a rebel attack, I drove my
MUTT in the convoy of over a dozen of faster cars-all Toyota Landcruisers.
I slowed down four of the cars following me as MUTT was slower than them
and they could not let me become the tail of the
convoy
This time, to avoid slowing down an evacuation convoy, I would like to get
my MUTT towed by one of the cars with a rigid tow shaft and not tow
ropes/cables. Is it advisable to disconnect the front shaft of the MUTT
that connects the gearbox to the differentials before getting towed? (I
only hope I will have enough time to get it disconnected!) Or is it ok to
go ahead and get towed with the transmission in neutral but with the front
differential still connected?
Please advise. It is important.
Thanks to all in advance!
