'92 Going from CA to FL

Hi, another newbie here! Bought a '92 4x4 with 130,000, pretty clean, rust free. Its been to visit the I-10 Toyota dealer in Indio, CA where I had the recall work done for the front truss rods and had them give it an evaluation, which it passed with flying colors. Dealer says all the other recall work was done-- yeah, that 3.0 head gasket issue. I'm planning to tow a single axle 12x6 enclosed trailer that does NOT have trailer brakes. It weighs 1200 empty, and I'm only going to have about 800 pounds of cargo, judiciously packed & secured with about 60 percent of the weight loaded from the axle forward. Am I taking a seriously bad risk attempting this? Advice is welcome! (and sorry about the photo-- it was right side up when I snagged it off my desktop.)

Welcome to T4R.org, xtlate! Nice to see a newbie post up a pic of their runner right off the bat! You will find an absolute tsunami of information and help for your Runner, on this forum. As far as your traveling and towing question, you should ask that question in the "Classic T4Rs" forum so that you get information/advice from the expert owners of your generation vehicle as that sounds like pretty critical information to know.
