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??

I have towed one of mine around town backwards many times and even down the interstate to another town with no problems. Get a couple of bungees to secure the steering wheel straight and roll the windows up and make sure the top is secure. I am about to tow the same car from Memphis to RICHMOND, vA. iF YOU DO REMOVE THE AXELS THEN i RECOMMEND TOWING FROM THE FRONT. I towed one from Memhis, to LA and then towed my LE back to Memphis on a tow dolly. Never knew it was back there.
Good Luck, Shoe |
