On a two wheel dolly. due to circumstances beyond my control I gotta drag my rig from north of Seattle to Phoenix Anybody towed this way?? She got no motor or tranny in her and my wife does'nt like the idea of a full size trailer behind her Grand Cherokee. (she's doing the driving , I have larger responsibilities) I'm a lttle concerned with the front end waltzing all over the place. Any experience with this??

The PO of my 914 towed it backward on a dolly from Washington to Florida. The only thing that went wrong is the rear deck lid apparently flew up. I drive a tow truck for a living and don't like towing cars backwards but it has to be done sometimes. Most cars nowadays have locking steering wheels so I first lock it as straight as possible then run the seatbelt threw and around it and slide the seat back. This car will be different obviously but you can lock it in place with a ratchett strap. Tell your wife to go easy. I noticed you said there is no motor or tranny, are the cv's still attached? You may be able to tow it from the front since there's no tranny to detroy.
