Going for a Drag?
Hi all, I've been lurking since March when I bought my baby Clementine:
amber fire'02 TJ, and I finally have a question! A friend of mine left his CJ w/hardtop backed right up to the fence in our gravel parking lot for the winter. Another Samaritan locked his doors so we need to drag the CJ forward enough for someone to crawl into the back. We figured we could run ropes between our respective towhooks and pull away. I'm a bit concerned since he's in gear, heavier than me, and sitting on stone packed earth whereas I'll be on looser stone. I'd welcome any advice on how to do this without ripping the bumper off my truck! TIA Seahag |

Use the spare key. :)
Can you jack it up and put some wheels dollies under the rear tires and slide it sideways?

Re: Going for a Drag?
I wouldn't be too terribly concerned about just pulling it forward two
feet. How about this? Pop the hood, use a remote starter switch across the solenoid and the starter will engage to drive it forward. Let off the switch and it stops. IF you're gonna do this, please be safe; everybody clear, a couple of chocks in front of the tires to keep it from driving away and buy a real remote switch vice two screwdrivers crossed under the hood:) Good luck and let us know what you do to move it.

He doesn't have keys for the doors:^(
We do have plenty of jacks and dollies avaliable so it's an option. The weather has been so nice lately, I'm looking forward to playing with Jeeps even if it's only 2 feet!
