Pull the key out and try to turn the steering wheel more than a 1/4 turn. If it does, you don't have a locking steering wheel. If you turn it and it locks up, then of course you do! Typically, leaving the key in the ignition in the "on" position, prevents the steering wheel lock up. However, in some cases, when the key in the "on" position, there will be other electrical loads present and without either pulling a specific fuse (manual should tell you which one) or running a 12v line from the mh to the toad's battery, you will find your toad's battery dead after a couple of hours being towed.

Your manual should have all the info you need to tow your Jeep 4-down. Are you looking under "recreational towing" section?

Pretty much need to make sure the year and transmission is exactly the same as there were changes in and around those years. Best thing is to sit in the vehicle with book in hand. Go through the instructions in detail and see if you get it in the right configuration with practice before you attempt tow it down the highway.

On my 2000 I turn the key until the dash lights up, then one click back. Steering wheel in unlock position. On a side note, I had a non chipped key made that I use for towing, can be used for towing but won't run the vehicle. No fuse removal required. Yours being an 05 so check to make sure.
