So, I'm about to haul the jeep behind a moving truck for about 1600 miles, and the moving company is making me disconnect the driveshaft to to tow it. It seems pretty straight forward- 4 bolts up front/4 in back- but has anyone does this? Tricks, problems, solutions? Thanks! |

There is a neutral on the 4x4 selector for towing behind vehicles specifically. it's a tiny little button/screw? I've never messed With it but that might be a solution Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk |

if you have the 2wd model you need to disconnect the shaft. |

You shouldn't need to. Put your Jeep in neutral and hit the little "N" button by the 4x4 selector to put the transfer case in neutral |

As I understood it, and confirmed by those who posted, it doesnt have to be disengaged, but the moving company i am using requires it, 4x4 or not. I am worried that if for some reason something happens while i am towing it and the company tries to say "procedure wasn't followed so we arent paying for damages" I don't have a leg to stand on if I leave it in. I really just wanted confirmation that removing the bolts is all that is required. thank you,tho to those who have posted! |

REMOVAL 1. With vehicle in neutral, position vehicle on hoist. 2. Mark a reference line across axle flange and propeller (drive) shaft flange for installation. 3. Mark a reference line across transmission/transfer case flange and propeller shaft flange for installation. 4. Remove propeller shaft flange bolts from axle flange. 5. Remove propeller shaft flange bolts from transmission/transfer case flange. 6. Remove propeller shaft |
