Towing

What is the consensus on towing with all four paws on the pavement? I plan to tow my YJ auto with the transfer case in neutral and the transmission in park. I don't foresee a problem, since the NP231 lube pump runs off the rear output shaft, and the transmission output shaft will be locked in place.



What I am having a problem with is lighting. I currently don't have any lighting solution for the Jeep. I am towing with a motorhome, and I am considering running over to Uhaul and picking up a set of those magnetic lights that just plug into the 4-flat connector on the motorhome. Is there an easy way to tap into the Jeep's lamp harness and use the Jeep's lamps for stop and turn?



I know you guys have done some towing, let's see your solutions.

If you are only doing this once, the U-haul lights are probably the best way, but if you plan on doing this often, there are kits to wire your jeep so its lights are wired to the towing vehicle. Here is an example:
