I first learned about the possibility from this forum post:

Expedition One Bumpers are great for flat towing your 4x4:

Other similar items to the ones used on my FJ Cruiser:

The biggest issue is the transmission is not self-lubricating, so if the engine is not turning it, it will overheat, experience excessive wear, and ultimately fail. It's quite an expensive thing to replace too. It's really not something you want to do to your FJ Cruiser, 4runner, Tacoma, or other similar Toyota vehicle that all use the same transmission.
