Do a search on the Toyota forum & you will find a lot of discussion on them & who makes them.

Let me play the devils advocate here and ask a few questions,

I'm guessing you have a vehicle that can flat tow yor zuke.

I'd look in to a small trailer, my 6x12 5k# (dual axle) utility trailer was $1000 w/ no brakes and same setup w/ was ~$1200...

IMHO.... You will have much better happienes and less stessful time with a trailer over flat towing... Long term I think you'd be happy....

Just watch the weights on the trailers, a full on car hauler is in the 2200#-2500# range vs a smaller wood deck utility trailer...

i have a FF kit on the back of my toy, been running it since the first of april, and put 3 competition's 14 day's at the hammer's, full throttle/fully spooled smoke show's on 38's on it :D

for the money it cost's, i could have bought 2/3 of my brand new 16ft car trailer! my adapter bracket's are one set of 10 made, (don't ask where they came from please) shaft's from moser were 345 on my doorstep, then getting all the toyota outer's, and having machine work done on my spindles to put a seal in them, and for the longest time i've had issues with the stud's shearing off, and the nut/cone washer's not staying tight... not to mention the drive train slop in the rer locking hub's sucks!

if your wanting the FF for pure strength, go for it. id like to have one myself, but if towing purposes are all your after, youd be MUCH better off with a trailer, think of it this way, what if your on the trails and your axle or tierod or something breaks, that would be kinda scary to have to flat tow home!! just my $.02 CYA!!

Trailer is the only way to go.
No air up- air down the tires,
No more offroad tire wear.
Break something on your Zuke ---No prob, Just load her up.
I always trailer to the trails.
