Back to towing

[Jack & Donna Smith]

Well, Jon, where theres a will, there is a way. I have towed my 85
Jeep CJ7 with Auto trans over 12 or 15K miles.. I use a Falcon 5200
tow bar, and installed a 2nd socket in each of the CJs tail lights..
Even if the Auto tranny could be towed, this action would burn up the
Dana 300 (gear driver) Transfer case.... So I installed a "Warn Full
Floating Rear Axel" complete with lockout hubs. Now, I simply tow
with the Trans in Park, T-Case in normal, and all 4 wheels freely
spinning..
This Warn axle has the advantage, for me, of being much stronger than
the stock setup.
Although Arnold's boys do not require it, I am looking into Toad brakes.
