Towing ?
My brother bought an older Jeep Wagoneer that he needs to have towed to his place. My truck will tow it no prob, but I don't have a trailer. He wants to use one of the UHaul tow dolleys, but I am not familiar with them. Will I have to pull the drive shaft to tow the Jeep? Any useful info would be appreciated
Thanks
Aaron

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 02-Feb-02 AT 12:57 PM (EST)]Noo....Mil1on is just pulling your leg. (no pun intended) You don't have to remove the drive shaft. Just make sure that the vehicle is in neutral and that you make sure the front wheels are locked once it is on the dolly. You do not want the front tires to turn on the dolly asit will cause the vehicle to hit the fenders on the dolly (been there). Other than that that's about it. Just make sure it's in neutral, the front wheels are locked and that it's on there straight and centered.

Arron, I'm a long time Jeep nut please don't hold it aganst me.
I know you said it's an old Wagoneer so if it is conventional 4wd
(front hubs and standard transfer case) just put the t-case in nuetral
once you have it on the dolly.
If it is a Quadra-Trac remove the rear drive shaft once its loaded. Do not tow a Quadra-trac any other way.

I concur with previous poster RE don't tow a quadra trac with rear wheels on the groun. My lesson cost me $900. Don't believe the tow truck driver. That lesson was included in the $900 price.
