I passed by my mechanic to let him know that I wasn't going to buy the rims off his spare part Tracker he had in the lot when I noticed an AWESOME Samurai hooked up to an Exterra to be towed out of there.  I asked who's Samurai is it and he told me that it was one of his customers.  The dude was there and I asked him if I could take a few pics and he was cool with it.  It's a 1991 and he's got Toyota axels on it.  He says it's the best off road vehicle ever.  He belongs to some Canadian Suzuki clubs like Suzitrails.ca  which doesn't seem to be working right now...

Here are some pics of his Samurai:

That's a pretty cool rig, but I've always wondered how you tow a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground... how do you ensure that the front tires are absolutely straight?

The tow bar is rigid so where ever the tow vehicle goes the sami will be pulled in the same direction and the steering wheel will turn on it's own. You must remember to leave the key in it so the column doesn't lock or it will break.

That seems like it puts a lot of extra wear and tear on the front tires...

I flat towed my sammi for almost a year before it was taken.  The rigs are so light the tires are basically just rolling down the road.  I didn't notice any excessive wear.  There would be less wear then driving it too.  Since you aren't using the brakes to stop it.  Plus, I'm assuming this guy doesn't have a trailer so flat towing and going the speed limit over passes is better then driving it.

Actually it puts less wear on the front tires. The tow bar is pulling by the chassis in the turns and the tires just follow like a shopping cart. When your driving normal through a turn the weight causes plow on the front end and you turning the wheel is putting stress on the front tires. Hope I explained this clearly.

I remember reading here that you have to disconnect the driveshafts, too, since even when the car is in neutral, the rear axel spinning the driveshafts is still turning the tranny internals and causing it to heat up... Is this true, or can you just put both shifters into neutral and unlock the hubs?

If you put both shifters in neutral and unlock the hubs the front axles and everything aren't turning so they won't cause heat. Only the back axle, driveshaft and T-case will turn, this causes heat, but there's oil in these things so the wear on these elements will be minimal (at least less then when you drive it)...
I think....  

The factory manual says to put the tranny in 2nd and t case in neutral.l
