Towing an XJ

Towing an XJ
with an XJ. Can I do it? I am thinking of using a tow bar like the RVs use to tow their vehicle. Are there any restrictions/laws I need to observe? It will only be for about 60 miles and avoiding freeways etc. all the towing will be done in Texas.
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks Cameron,
Oops, forgot to update my profile I moved from RI in October last year, was only there a couple years for school. My own Jeep is a 96 model pretty basic but I have updated and repaired where/when I could. Its looking OK now apart from some rust in the floors.
Thanks for the advice on the towing.

Tow bar or a dolly to haul an XJ with another XJ shouldn't be any issue if you stay flat and avoid freeways. Of course figure out laws regarding brakes and lighting in Texas.
As with any load over 2500 lbs make sure the XJ towing has GOOD brakes and keep it out of overdrive.

Make sure you have swaybars! We had to tow my buddies XJ on a dolly about an hour. 6" lift and 31's. Sloppy steering, no swaybars. It got hairy. The highway wasn't the worst part actually. Almost lost it going about 45mph when the XJ started swaying back and forth. If it starts drifting from side to side just lay into the gas to pull it straight
