RE: [DML] need towing advice

["Joseph Kuchan" <josephkuchan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not to mention that if you tow it backwards you can probably say "goodbye" 
to your louvers and "hello" to the insurance company of the guy in the car 
behind you after they smash through his windshield!  ;)

Also I have been advised not to rely on the flimsy "tow hooks" welded to the 
front frame. Best to use straps over the tires and or around control arms.
