I agree with T. Walgamuth, use a trailer. I just hauled my 85 300D from
winnemucca, Nevada to Santa Cruz, Ca. used a U-Haul trailer, didn`t know it was behind me it towed so well. it was around a 500 mile haul.
U-haul uses a chain to go around the rear axle or something. I used a
nylon ratchet strap, made it more secure.
In Ca. if it`s not registered, the wheels have to be off the road to move it.
the brakes on the trailer tongue are called surge brakes, they work when the towing vehicle applies the brakes. as the trailer surges forward, it
pushes against a master cylinder on the tongue.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
