I want to pull my tundra on a 2 wheel dolly behind my moving truck. Can I do it without removing the drive shaft?
Thanks!

HI there,

For an extended tow, you will have to remove the drive shaft.

Just to clarify this, with the drive shaft turning and the engine off, there is no oil lubricating main shaft bushes and bearings, as the torque converter drives the oil pump, you run a high risk of damaging a bush or a bearing with lack of long term lubrication, I did meant to add this to the first post but got side tracked.
