Assuming I have to get my TTA towed, what is the best way to have it towed ?

[roadkill73]

In my previous post about the fuel pump no longer working, it looks like I may have to have it towed.
What is the best way to have it towed so there is no damage. I was thinking of flatbedding it and have it pulled up onto the flat bed rear first ?
Is there another way to get it onto the flatbed or other type of tow I should be looking for ?
Thanks

flat bed is ideal, it doesn't matter if it goes up front first or rear first but the front is so long with no where good to hook to so I would probably go rear first.

Where are you at in NY? I could try and come help you a little if you would like if you're not too far.

I am in lower New York, northern Westchester County. I think you are too far away, but thanks for the offer.

My other thought for towing was the boot type, where they clamp the two front tires, but I think that may damage the rims.

If your going to tow it with the rear wheels on the ground you will need to remove the driveshaft. Leaving the trans in neutral will only cause damage. I would use a flat deck...nothing else.

When I chunked the pinion gear earlier this summer I had it flatbedded to the shop. The driver used a series of wood planks to reduce the "attack" angle and it never even rubbed the intercooler scoop on the way up (front first). I bet if they are an experienced operator you'll have no problems.

i go flatbed every time, front first. ive never had a rubbing problem when getting it up there, its always been a pretty small incline.
