I want to tow my 96, 5 speed, part time Transfer case with all 4 tires on the ground. Transfer case in neutral and the 5 speed in neutral, Anybody had any trouble doing this? Suggestions. Will be towing with my Class C Motorhome.

 

Thats what it says in the owners manuel on how to tow them.

 

I saw that, just wondering if anybody has had any experience or problems in doing so. I tow my CJ7 but it has lock out hubs.

 

i have seen it done while on the highway(passed a few of them) never done it myself. but if you think about it its just like coasting down a hill.... i dont see any problem with it! if you are super worried about it pull the driveshafts so only your axles are spinning

 

Only time it become a problem is when you have lockers and forget to unlock them. Been done like this for years by many a Jeep owner.

 

Leave the key in the ignition in the unlocked position so the front wheels can steer freely and the column won't lock.

Not to threadjack, but what about towing with the front wheels on a dolly? The rental companies all say the driveshaft MUST be removed. I don't see any need for it if the t-case and trans is in Neutal. Any thoughts?

 

If your t-case doesn't offer the 2WD option, which could be used while dolly-towing, you must remove either the front or rear drive-shaft when towing a full-time 4WD vehicle with a tow-dolly. T-case damage will result if you don't do this. At least that what the manual states.

Towing a REAR wheel drive vehicle, nose-up, can damage the trans. this is why they say you have to remove the shafts. The N position of a TC, accomplishes this by diconecting the shafts from the trans.

 

It's got the NP231 (2WD/part-time 4WD) t-case w/ Neutral.

 

Then pull her into neutral and get RVing already!
