Towing/odometer
I have a 93 bronco and I was wondering if I towed it with the front tires on a dolly and tranny in netual would I do any damage to the tranny and transfer case if I keeped the drive shafts connected? Also would it rack up the mileage? Does anyone know if the odometer is mechanical or electronic & where is located?

By shifting the transfer case to neutral you can tow your bronco as described regardless of which transmission it has (you didn't mention whether it was an auto or manual).
The speedometer should be electronic in a '93 and most likely the speed sensor is located in the rear end housing. However, the speedo/odo will not register if the ignition is not.

I bet your owners manual advises AGAINST towing .
Even tho the transfer case is in nuetral, the rear pumpkin will spin.
I am pretty sure you are supposed to stay below 35 mph and tow only for short distances.
just my $.02

I am getting ready to tow my '83 F250, 2WD, Auto trans, from west to east coast. I see Motor Homes towing trucks on all 4's. I was going to unlock the steering and disconnect the drive shaft at the rear end. I can't find a dolly wide enough or trailer long enough (Ext Cab) at any of the rental companies. Any comments?
