Well it turns out aaa won't tow a modified vehicle. They did not have a listing for International Harvester, which might have prompted the 20 questions. They called me back and said the "driver" would not tow anything with tires over 33"
I have a set 235/85r16 of truck tires that bolt on. But they were on my truck in sac it was getting late and I decide to drive towards south lake tahoe as there was no hope heading towards truckee. We drove at 20 mph all the way, lucky almost zero traffic. Ate dinner and took the Scout through a drive through car wash as it look like I've been out 4wheeling. The idea was avoid tickets. The t-case was popping and cracking the whole time. It was very unnerving to think any second something was going to go bad, the worst been locking up the rear tires.
My wife said I could take hwy 88 home, it would add 30 miles to the trip, but less traffic. So we motored on on on. When we finally got to the pass at 8,500 I thought we made it. It all down hill from here. But every time I slow down to let somebody by the Scout would shake and pop as I trying to get going again.
The down hill help as I did not need to give it any gas. As time went on the grinding popping noise got less as the parts were ground to powder.
I made it home very late. Hit almost zero traffic. The pos is parked in the driveway.

I got some decent pics, I'll try to post them, and add more as I find them. We didn't see a single rig on the way out on Sunday until right before ellis, it was sweet. Glad everyone made it home safe! May try and plan a trip to fordyce at the end of October if time and weather permit, if anyone's interested.
