Glad to hear it, I think you'll feel better about keeping the wife happy, as well as not being stuck on the road somewhere.

Something for others to keep I n mind for the future.....if you are thinking about towing one with a tow dolly or rental trailer.... measure the front wheel width before you call for a rental estimate....some dolly's and trailers are too narrow for some 4x4s.

If you drive it and break down I'll come get you and towbar it to my place where you and I will fix whatever disabled it, or to your place if it's a big fix. I'm in Tucson just off I 10.
Cost - actual fuel costs and something to eat.

Wow, I just have to say thank you 98G that is beyond a generous offer, luckily I decided to ship it and don't need it for this trip.

This is a good deal! More people should be like you!!!
Personally I'd like the adventure. I once drove from Chico California to Gillette Wyoming to pick up a bronco front axle.
Not that you are going anymore... But I'd pack a smartphone, multimeter, 10' or so of wire, roll of electrical tape, oil, atf, water, brake fluid, hose clamps, some fuel hose, fuel filter, hand tools, cash, and a backup plan.
All that being said when I bought my last project I trailered it anyway.

Ugh, those iPhones...I take those upside down photos sometimes too...ugh.
Hey, just for info...I moved from Oregon to NM in my '09. Towed a M116 loaded with stuff. My son and I were in the 09 while the minivan trailed behind as cover. We were slow, but made it in three days. Very hot days through NV in July. We would start out very early and stop by noon or so.
None the less, the ole girl did great. Burned no oil, averaged about 18 mph and never overheated. Honestly, I was surprised. It was an adventure my son and I will never forget.
