Long Distance Towing an MJ

[hogelectra]

Looking to put my MJ behind our motor home. I know I can get a big trailer and put it on it but is that my only choice.

 

Can I disconnect the driveshafts and pull i that way..

 

I read earlier if Idon't I have to stop every 200 miles and do some things.

 

Suggestions - or even facts

The 86 manual says you have to stop every 200 miles and fire it up to circulate oil in the NP-207 t-case. Personally, I'd just unbolt the driveshafts from the axles and securely strap them up under the truck. If you want to pull them out completely, be aware that pulling the rear shaft out will allow t-case fluid to pour out the back (unless you plug it somehow).

:agree: Just remove the axle ends only and strap them securely up under the truck :thumbsup:

That would be nice, but keep wishing ;)

Shouldn't take long though. It's just four 5/16 bolts on each one :thumbsup:
