We made our maiden voyage pulling our new to us '04 Wrangler behind the RV. My anxieties were unfounded. The hookup and trip went off without a hitch (no pun intended). It was a short trip from Canyon Lake to Corpus Christi. We took the "backroads" to Corpus and took the freeway back, just to see how she acted both ways. Again, absolutely no problems. Now I can go find something else to worry about. Live is GOOD!

Nice, glad it went off without a hitch! The transmission was either in Park or gear while you were towing the TJ right? It should not be in Neutral, only the transfer case is supposed to be in Neutral. :)

Okay... The title had me confused for a moment, and then it clicked... TOWED + ROAD... HAHA! Good one!

Anyways, glad that it all went off without a hitch.
 
Good deal, they are an easy tow for sure. Pulled mine from CA to ID and back with my buds F150 two weeks ago. Not a single problem.

Just like y'all taught me, Jerry. Thanks.
 
Question for you toadies - does flat towing put miles on the odometer?
Depends on the jeep. Mechanical driven speedo will add miles, electronically driven one will not.
