Thinking about removing rear drive shaft and towing it with my buddys dolly behind my dII. I will drive very carefully, its about a 80 mile hike. Think I will be ok?

On side streets not going over 30 miles an hour.

I have towed a disco with a disco, scary. LR3 has to be heavier.

The front track of a LR will almost certainly be too wide to fit on a tow dolly.

After looking at the specs and capacities I think I will be better off with a trailer, or just getting it towed on a roll back. lol
