I have seen tow dollys used, just make sure the strap is long enough to go over the size tire you have (or strap it to the tow dolly differently, most just have a strap "pocket" that goes over the tire)... and also do some research on what to shift the tranny/t-case into to flat-tow it. Or just pull the rear driveshaft.

in some states a vechicle on a tow dolly must also be street leagal, registered inpected ect.

Rent a trailer, much safer then a tow dolly and they really arnt that much to rent.

Just be careful with U-haul .... they get really picky about WHAT you will be towing on their trailer. There is a chance they won't rent you the trailer if they know a lifted Jeep is going on it.

say youre towing a civic with a F250 youll be fiiiiiiiiiine.

they wont rent you a trailer if you have an explorer. but theyll let you rent one if you have a mountaineer.

I would just paint the jeep black, get nightvision, drive it up in the middle of the night with no lights on at high speed, no one will see you!!! Then sleep in the parking lot till morning..

its not like they watch you load the vehice

say you have a f-550 towing a geo metro convertible

 

[MrSimon]

Not to be a stick in the mud here .... but if something happens and they find out you were less than honest .... the insurance policy would be void and you would get stuck with all the bills - which could be REALLY high is property is damaged.

Its always a good idea to be honest up front.

The one area that I would be willing to maybe slip in a little non-truth is to "forget" that the Jeep is lifted. Just tell them its a Jeep Cherokee - which is true. Stock Cherokees aren't really all that big anyway - they might not have a problem with that.

I've towed with a trailer from U-haul and it was easy. I towed a CJ-5 and it cost me 50 bucks to use the trailer for 24 hours.

X2 on what MrSimon said.

I know they're real sticklers about the towing vehicle having a hard top.

right now im looking to buy a used car-dolly. Its looking like the tow vehicle will be my 04 grand cherokee. Which isnt the best tow vehicle by any means, but Rausch is slightly less than an hour away

You might want to make sure that PA will allow a non-plated vehicle to be towed on a dolly. Some states require that if it's wheels touch the ground, it's gotta be plated.

PA require a tag on the trailor, so you should be good.
