I saw a Honda Accord towing a Cherokee on a dolly in So Cal. So yes it can be done. Is it a smart idea is probably a better question.

A dolly is different than a trailer. I'd use a dolly for a short haul.
I had to move my XJ on 38's about a mile once, used my dd XJ. Got about 100 feet down the road and realized that it was a dumb idea.

I have an s10 1st genwith an Iron duke for big trips across the mountain and use my Dail Driver Yaris for short trips my xj only weighs about 5800lbs the trailer maybe 2,000 so it is "light weight baby".
Ironically my last xj weighed in at 5500. Dana 44 front 12b zu rear and I went way to far overboard on the plating.

That is a beautiful truck! I don't even like Chevy's either!

When I see a bowtie Man I know that's a fit man that likes to walk places rather than drive .

No bow tie here. I think the LBZ and Allison will last just fine
What is a six blow? ...lol...you Jap Diesel guys crack me up...Now if you'll excuse me I need to go flip out my tow mirrors I gots ghost trailers to move .
They still use glow plugs in the Dmaxx ?...the Cummins uses a grid heater , but I am not that versed in Duramax or Powerstroke .

You guys and your v8 diesels....you ever wonder why so many semis are inline? :twak:
I think that is mostly due to how they package into the engine bay which makes workibg on them i frame easier ...Cummins makes v8 Diesels .

They have glow plugs but are generally only used on colder start ups. That's my understanding. Mine are rarely used here in socal
