Newbie Towing Question.
I just bought an old but nice 23 Class motor home and I am curious about
what is entailed with towing my 92 YJ, it is a 4.0 Liter automatic.
How do you handle the brake lights? Uhaul purchased mag mounts??
Thanks
Lots of good info here.

Re: Newbie Towing Question.
Just put the transfer in neutral, and the transmission in park.
Remember it won't back up
because of it's steering geometry, have someone hold the steering wheel
to get out of gas stations or whatever. I like to use a bungie cord to
hold the steering wheel straight, as the Jeep will lock at full turn
when going around a tight turn, some here likes to leave the key in, in
the unlock position to allow the Jeep to follow, if you choose to, keep
an eye on the it's wheels.
The Uhaul type auxiliary lights are what my Son uses:
http://members.aol.com/Larr------/lartruck.jpg I just splice in a plug
connection after the turn signal to disconnect and plug in my pigtail.

Re: Newbie Towing Question.
A trick way of doing it, and I imagine you can get these at larger trailer
shops or RV accessory shops, is a box you wire into the YJ's harness that
allows you to use the YJ's taillights when flat towing it. It has a 4-wire
pigtail that coils up under the hood when not in use. I have one installed
on my TJ but I can;'t remember the brand.
