According to the FJ owners manual you cannot dinghy tow an FJ cruiser, but the guy in the photo has logged several thousand miles with the REMCO drive line disconnect. Here are a couple of threads that discuss the topic in more depth. If all goes well after the wifey has the baby in a couple of months we will be taking a RV trip up old RT 66 to Chicago to visit some of her family and then down to Florida to visit mine, I hope to have this REMCO setup in place before then.

With The Driveline disconnect, does the FJ put on any miles when being towed?

If this sounds a little basic, or maybe brain dead, please bear with me. I have been trying to get into a new vehicle for the last couple of years but my war department has managed to slow the process. Finally, she starts gushing over a new FJ. Finally we agree on something. BUT NOT SO FAST -

I am used to Jeep Cherokees which are towable (dingy style - four feet on the ground) I have managed to put about 200,000 miles on two different Cherokees including about 20-30,000 of off road (I do this for a business). ALl I have to do for a Cherokee (other than the repair bills) is to mount the tow pads hook up the aux breaking system and go down the road.

So here we are - based on the threads I have reviewed, there seems to be some missing or inclomplete information. As the man says "I need input"

1) All of this is for a 4 wheel drive 2008 FJ
2) What can be made towable ( automatic, standard shift)?
3) Drive shaft disconnect/ fluid pump/both/other?
4) Manufacturer of above? How much?
5) Who did the modification? How much?
6) Aux brake system? How much?
7) How far have you towed it? Problems, issues
8) What happens when the dealer saw the mod (what happens to your warranty)?
9) Would you do it again?

If you do not have a complete story on towing the FJ, do you know someone willing to soend about 20-30 minutes with me.

I just purchased a 2008 FJ with auto trans... I plan on installing a REMCO DSD... when towing, what settings for the transmission and transfer case?

Did you get any of the answers to your questins? Is so, can you pass them on to me... also if you put into play, what are your observations?
