More of a double check than anything else. But there could be
enough friction between gears and bearings to cause the output shaft to
turn burning up it's dry bearings.

Re: towing a Wrangler
 

What about this: I just got a trailer for my truck to haul my jeep long
distances with... Should I strap it down to the trailer by the axles or the
frame? I'm thinking of putting it in gear and using the parking brake
also...

By the frame! Tight, compressing the suspension as much as possible.
Being in gear, parking brake, will have no effect in an emergency
situation, use the proper chains and tools to hold it down.
