Use a piece of all-thread to cinch the chain around the tranny, then
brace the 4x4 so it can move side to side. You could drive to the moon

I'd bet you my best shoes that thousands of VW vans have been towed
exactly in this fashion since the dawn of time, and the first 'Bully'
blew its 36hp motor.

Fail safe?  hhhmmmmmm . . . maybe in a static situation.  That's how the
transmission is supported right now but I don't think it's road worthy.
