Towing a CJ-7 (Need proper procedures for it)
 

Just curious, but what is the proper way to set the transfer and
transmission and what gear should it be in while towing. Please let me
know. I just want to make sure that I do it correctly this coming thursday
for the deer lease.

Re: Towing a CJ-7 (Need proper procedures for it)
 

I towed my 85 cj7 with a dana 300 transfer case and I was told to remove the
driveshafts because the dana 300 does not oil itself when the engine is not
running. I'm not sure if this is true but mine made a 2000 mile trip with no
problems. Unlock the front hubs, remove the drive shafts (tape over the ends
of the u-joints, so the caps don't fall off) and tow away.

Couldnt you just put the transfer case in neutral?

Re: Towing a CJ-7 (Need proper procedures for it)
 

I have the owners manual for my 86 and it says to put it in gear with
the t-case in neutral to tow. It then says to stop every hundred miles
or so and run the engine while still in gear for a couple minutes to
lube up the t-case.

Or pull the rear driveshaft.
