2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport
Just picked up a 2001 Wrangler Sport, 1st Jeep. What would be the protocol for towing? I would think vehicle in N, 4 wheel lever in N, key on?

I tow my 07 this way.
I position the jeep behind the coach.
Place the transmission in park.
hook up the tow bar and lights.
Disconnect the battery.
Place the transfer case in neutral.
Place the key in the on position (to release the steering lock)
Attach the brake cylinder and air connection.
Have wife help check the lights, and brake operation.
Those are the directions in my owner's manual, and a long time experience.
I use a Falcon II tow bar, and the wire harness from "Cool Tech"
Things to remember when towing the jeep, your RV can exceed the turn radius of the jeep's steering. When in tight turns your coach will be thru the turn when you straighten your wheel, the jeep will still be in the turn and maybe 90 degrees to the coach. The coach will then simply drag the jeep sideways thru the turn. this depends upon how long the overhang on the coach is.
