Can someone tell me if the steering has to be locked up somehow when a- framing a vehicle? Cheers

only if you want tyres torn to shreds. nope, just let it roll, transmission in park, transfer case in neutral

Yea, just to reduce drag.(Makes it easier for towing vehicle). Auto can be destroyed if not in park (not lubrication to trans without engine running).

Leave ignition so steering lock cannot activate, or things could get interesting in a bad way...

A frame towing is very easy, much easier than using a rope anyways.
