I am towing my 1986 Jeep CJ-7 on a U-Haul tow dolly (front wheels off the
ground, rear wheels on the ground) I think I have a T-176 manual tranny.
Do I need to disconnect the rear drive-shaft or can I just put the tranny in
nuetral and tow it. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks

For such a long trip, I would take no chances and disconnect rear
drive shaft from rear axle. Do this and you can tow it as far as you
want with no cause for concern.
