Thanks all!
I'm waiting on a few quotes from RV stores to determine the best way to go.
One question: I asked if a dolly would work and was assured that even though a dolly is meant to be used with a front wheel car; it can still be used towing a rear wheel Wrangler as long as I remember to not only place the manual transmission in manual before towing BUT also shift the transfer case to neutral.
Is this correct?
I can only state READ the Owners Manual and FOLLOW the Recreational Towing instructions contained therein.
I think you will find that is is NOT recommended to dolly tow either the 4X4 or the 4X2 Wrangler. In fact, IIRC, the 4X2 Wrangler is not recommended to be towed four down, either.
However, while it is not specifically addressed in the Owners Manual, you CAN dolly tow either one IF you remove the rear drive shaft from the rear differential yoke. This is also acceptable if you want to tow the 4X2 Wrangler four down.
Almost ALL rear wheel drive cars can be dolly towed or towed four down if the driveshaft is removed. However, it is possible that the computer will become confused in newer vehicles when the rear wheels are going 60 MPH and the front wheels are not turning.
good luck.
