re towing
without quoting the manual,the answer is still the same,remove front and rear driveshafts,really easy to do,remove both shafts from the rear of the transfercase,disconnect from forward rear axle,and from the pillow block that goes to the rear rear axle.,remove them completely from the transfercase,and on the front axle,you dont have to take it all the way out,just take it loose from the front axle and SECURELY wire it up out of the way,leaveing it connected to the transfercase,make absolutely sure that you dont have any driveshaft turning when you move vehicle,dont know what size wrecker you are using but remember there is 16000 lbs behind you,towed a deuce with a deuce using towbars,to much speed and the towed deuce pushed my m211 through a stop sign,,good luck,and get the manuals
