Flat towing a Scout - towbars, Rubicon Scramble



Greetings Binders!

Now that the Scout is close to being ready for the trails, I've
started thinking about the next issue - getting to the trails. I've
got a couple of long-distance trips planned this year, and I'd like
to tow the Scout behind the Travelall. Since I don't have anyplace to 
keep a trailer, that leaves flat-towing. Some of the tow bars I've
seen look pretty whimpy - anyone know of a good heavy-duty towbar
that's not too expensive? I'll be mounting it to a Warn winch bumper.
I've seen towbars that have a rigid 'A' shape, and I've seen some
that seem to be hinged - is there a reason to prefer one over the other?

On the subject of fourwheeling trips - who's going to the Rubicon
Scramble this year? I figure that should be a good way to test out
all the modifications I've been doing!

Thanks,
  Curt
