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

Re: Going for a Drag?
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. I'm curious:)

Re: Going for a Drag?
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!
