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.

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.

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.
