Bumper towing
I towed my CJ5 2100 miles cross country a couple years ago with my '99 Durango. Hardly felt it till I hit some ice in NM. I just planned ahead for slowing/stopping distances. Both of them were way loaded with household stuff as well.Thanks for all the info. I am for sure going to tow with a towbar. So my best bet is to disconect the drive shaft in the rear. Is that what you do Busted Knuckles? Also, by the sounds of it I'll probably have to hit the exhaust brake on the diesel when I coming to a stop!!! Yikes!!!

Interesting, I've thought of doing that but was concerned about the gears in the Transfer Case spinning full time at 55 mph.The factory manual for my Jeep states to leave the front hubs in for extra lubrication in the Transfer Case . It also mentions starting the Jeep every 200 miles and letting the Transmission spin the Transfer Case input gear. I installed Warn full float rear axles, so I just unlock all four hubs!
Page 77 of a 1985 owners manual. For an automatic it's the same, only the Transmission will need to be in park.Interesting, I've thought of doing that but was concerned about the gears in the Transfer Case spinning full time at 55 mph.
It would nice (much easier than disconnecting the drive shaft)
What year manual is this in?
