The liberty makes a great dinghy... just be sure to follow the directions in the owner's manual if you are towing flat. My brother in law got a KJ just for that purpose.

Put the transfer case in neutral and the transmission in park and away you go.

Do a search under "toad pulling" or something to that effect. The rv community calls vehicles pulled behind as "toads"

YES absolutly put your transfer case in the NEUTRAL position. Keep the KJ free from any moving parts while towing it.

I also heard there is something you have to do to the brake lights to keep them from blowing when hooked up as a tow. Could be wrong or not sure if it was all models but it had something to do with adding some diode to the rear brake lights.
