Sounds like a bad idea to me, I have had 6x6 towed by professional rigs here
in Baltimore area, cost was only $225 for about same milage, recently had
DUKW put on a Landall (Big tractor trailer rig) cost was only $350 for about
a 180 mile round trip. I would be more worried about stopping versus pulling
the thing.
My 2 cents worth
Regards

Is it possible to tow a 6X6 drive lines removed around a100 miles without
damage (clutch failure or other) to a 1/2 ton pickup? Has any one tried
this or has experience which could help me?

Thanks for all the help.
