I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times before but - can a 2014 Wrangler Sahara be towed 4-down without modification? I tow my automatic with no problem, just want to make sure there's no differ...

wow i though any manual trans could be pulled 4 down in neutral....didn't realize it also had to be a 4x4 also....
That is a very common misconception. It isn't QUITE true. While SOME manual transmission vehicles can be towed four down by simply putting the transmission in NEUTRAL, MANY will not lubricate properly and can burn out the transmission output shaft bearings.
MOST (but not all) 4X4 vehicles with a NEUTRAL position on the transfer case shift can be towed four down.
One should ALWAYS read and follow the instructions in the Owners Manual for the vehicle in question. However, in some cases, changes were made to the vehicle but not to the instructions, so even there caution is the byword!
