jimoshel Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 When towing a car with a trailer, do you make the car immovable? or do you leave it loose? Have the transmission in gear or nuetral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerBrown5 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 When we haul a vehicle we have hooked to the frame, or go around the axle at all 4 corners. Let the suspension do its thing and not make it so rigid. Has worked well for us. Allow the front straps to pull forward and the rears pull backwards. This does not allow movement forward or backwards....we normally set a brake if we can. I also haul tractors like this, only with a chain and binder. Hasn't failed me yet! Hope I have been some help :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why might you be asking jim? Are you adding another MJ to the comanche farm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Towing it on the trailer, I assume? IMHO, you want it attached in a manner that if the trailer is picked up by a giant, turned upside down, and shaken, that the load will not come off. Put it in gear. Set any parking brake apparatus. Straps, chains, bolts, whatever it takes. I normally use straps. The big ones, and lots of them. Some weird things (super soft suspension, deflated tires, round/spherical objects, broken stuff) also do better if you crib/fence them with wooden blocks that are screwed to the deck, along with straps/chains.

jimoshel Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Got into a discussion with the neighbor about this. Been doing it My way for so long not sure there is another way. Just wanted to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 There's always another way. It just doesn't mean it's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 i leave the MJ in park. Straps to the axles (using axle straps) that run to the trailer in an "X" fashion. front axle straps go forward and the rear axle straps go rearward. never had an issue.

yxmj Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I would agree with the Giant hand analogy above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
