I think I read all of the towing proceedures and I believe I understand them all and how they apply to my 89 xj with Auto, 231 D30 and D35. Please correct me if I am wrong:
Dolly Towing: Disconnect Rear drive shaft, Front tires on Dolly
Flat Towing: Transfercase in Neutral, Transmission in Park, Key in First position (so steering does not lock).
This will work for my while my axles are both open Diff. My rear question is when I weld up my rear axle and add a locker or weld my front diff and I flat tow the jeep? My thought was that the rear axle is probably fine with a locker or welded. The front I am not as sure about. My thought was to make my vacume disconnect mechanical so that each tire is seperate in the front. Any experience with this. Can I flat tow it locked or welded front and rear and if so how? Or should I get a tow dolly and disconnect the rear axle?
Thanks, for any advice or experience.
