Any advice for towing a small caravan with my SJ410?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

I sent a lad on ebay a message about an SJ body he had, and his reply was
"dont have it anymore mate, shame as it was a mint condition body but people didnt offer me enough for it so got frustrated and scrapped the whole thing"

Mate that would be the best thing to do, everyone's a winner and no Sj scrapped, might have to wait till I have the money and do it as it's easier to find samurai around your area...
