    Towing Argo with Windshield and Top Up?
    Hey guys I haven’t tried to yet but I have heard from some that it is possible. I am looking for feedback on towing my 8x8 Frontier with the factory canvas roof/top up for short distances, (to keep the snow and wet out of the cab). If Possible is there a top speed, concerns of distance etc.?

    put a HD tarp over all of it, and pull the silly out of it. Main concern is rocks hiting the winsheld.... but that depends on your trailer and truck setup

      Spookup makes a good point. The PO of my Conquest Hauled it around with the canvas top up, and managed to damage it to the point that it need numerous repairs. Canvas is torn and many of the snaps are pulled out. Covering the whole rig while trails ring would have helped a lot.

        I put my windshield and soft top down while towing and cover the entire rig with a tarp. The tarp comes in handy on hunting/camping trips anyway. Also, when I got my argo the dealer even told me they recommend towing argos facing backwards on a trailer if it's not tarped, to reduce the likelihood of wind popping the hood or windshield up. I guess they've had a few people come in looking to buy new hoods since their old one's blew away on a trailer.
