It is truly a beautiful machine. After all the other Montys I have seen and driven.... GrassCat's monty purrs like a kitten. It is so well cared for, I am spoiled. Thanks GrassCat. Hopefully we can organize a trail run some day and Get the Forum together.

Your plates should be on their way soon.

Ah, Well for anyone else looking to flat tow an automatic Gen 2 consider a cable actuated driveshaft disconnect and manual hubs up front. Mount the driveline disco on the transfercase rear output housing instead of on the diff (for four wheeling reasons).

There was a Az snowbird who had one on his raider, we used to see him every year but i haven't seen him in a while. He wasn't into rockcrawling or anything but the truck saw some good use and he was proud of the disconnect so it probably wasn't giving him problems. I think it would get ruined on rocks mounted to the diff if you went rock crawling, imagine bashing a diff on an obstical and it causing your driveshaft to free spin. I think it could be mounted topside though, do the aussie slipyoke trick and then have the driveshaft shop install the disconnect with a slip shaft as well.

With more people building expo campers this might be something to look at, I'm planning on building a Fuso camper and towing my diesel behind it but i'll be all cheap and just remove the rear driveshaft and plug the rear output (take a gear oil bath every time)

Just tie the drive shaft up after removable, no oil bath that way. The disconnect sounds promising for a future project.
