ok well me and a buddy of mine are going to buy a xj and fix it up, it doesnt have a tcase and the tierod is bent, so we were gonna rent a uhual car hualer trailer and tow it to his house, I have a drawtight class III hitch with a rating of 5500lbs. its been used to pull me out and tow around a small trailer with trash. would it be ok to tow another xj home with my rig? probably a total of 15miles if even that, its about 20ish mins away. also how much would it be to rent a car hualer from uhual?

if you show up with a cherokee to rent a car trailer, they won't rent it to you.
your best bet is to rent the dolly, and just tell them you are picking up a civic.
you should be fine towing another xj with the dolly. since you said it has no t-case, then it won't matter about the front wheels up rolling on the rears.

just take your time, slow down way before any corners, and keep a safe distance. and make sure you strap the xj on the dolly with minimum of 4 safety straps/chains for dmv standards. (2 straps/2 chains). and X your safety chains.

By the way that sounds....you might as well wrap the entire front half in chain, around the dolly, LOL

And Russ, you wouldve killed me, if you saw how I towed the last vehicle I had on a dolly......the only thing keeping it on, was one D-ring I attached, GO REGULATIONS! ....it didnt have a rear axle either tho, just leaf springs in the wheel divots.

if you don't have minimum of 4 tie down points, dmv will ruin your day.

2 straps to hold the jeep onto the dolly, with at least one safety chain. and 2 chains crossed (they have to be crossed) from the dolly to the tow vehicle.
