Anyone had any experience towing a Sammy with a locker? Any problems encountered?
Not concerned with tire wear.
Sometimes this thing bangs hard when not gasing around curves(asphalt), but when coasting out of gear it seems alright.---T-case neutral down hill.
Never pulled it with a bar before, but it would be a lot easier than on the trailor.
Moderate travel distances.

If "Little Blue" was built for anything other than dirt it would run faster than 55 downhill ha.ha.
Makes for some long trips.

I have flat towed them with open diffs, welded diffs,and lockers, just pull the rear drive shaft and unlock the front hubs and go. if your rig is higher than stock your front drive shaft will start tearing things up because of the bad vibes unless you pull the rear d.s.

Pull the rear drive shaft, when the samurai transfer case is in nuetral it locks the front and rear drivelines together, so if you are locked front and rear will really wear havoc on the drivetrain when flat towing.  This is just what I have noticed from flat towing mine

bashzuk x 2.

Make sure you pull the back shaft - DO NOT IGNORE this advice. It will save you a lot of drama and coin ;).
