    Default Who all tow,s a Jeep !!! :)

    If you tow a jeep, post it here
    Anyone doing any trail riding while travling lets here about it,,,
    Good trails and trips you have experienced,
    We are going to try to find some down by Lake Havasu in AZ here shortly.
    Mix it with a little gold digging, my cousin lives down ther and has alot of equipment, It takes allot of good Tequilla to find any gold thats all I have learned so far .)
    I am starting to figure out ,it,s not about the Gold

    Les and Lana have an 06 Rubicon and have done some extensive off-roading around Breckenridge, CO, Gunnison, CO and Ouray, CO. Great fun.

    '07 Liberty. Wife gets scared going over elevated over pass. Off road has not been explored to date. The Locster occasionally tows a pretty mean Jeepster and has been know to get it in some rather precarious locations.

    We tow an '05 Grand Cherokee that we have had off road a few times but this last January we bought an '06 Rubicon Unlimited that we use extensively in the Yuma desert. It's a hoot.

    Since 2001 have towed a jeep. Just finished a 6000 mile trip towing 2010 Unlimited. Live 30 mile from Ouray and 150 miles from Moab. We do alot of jeeping in CO, UT, AZ and some in NM. Jeep works great as a toad but better to explore the unknown.

    Here is a question, I never towed my other jeep sahara, we only used our toyota camery for our toad, we had to leave the key in it to keep the steering from locking, somtimes if we drove a very long day the battery would go down, I know a simple batt diconect would work,
    but now we are ready to tow our new Rubicon and I found out they dont put steering locks in them anymore because they are towed so much, yet the towing instructions say disconnect the negitive cable and turn the key one notch ?
    I dont understand why you would need to, How do you guys tow yours?

    Larry, Thanks for the positive comments, we just have a Canon point and shoot but Evy has a good eye so she in in charge of the pictures, I'm in charge of the driving, and I like my job much better. We just have a fraction of the pictures on the site as we did ten trips last spring before we had to leave Yuma.

    I towed a 2008 Wrangler Sahara thousands of miles. It had a steering lock, and we had to leave the key on one click and lift the white fuse in the under hood fuse box. Never disconnected anything. Late, I disabled the steering lock and from then on removed the key, put in Neutral, and that's it. No problems.

    I just bought a 2012 Wrangler Sahara. We just completed a 6 week 6000+ mile trip towing it. No steering lock, never left the key in or pulled a fuse, no problems. Very easy and reliable.

    Our 2010 Rubicon came with instructions to leave the key on and unhook the battery. I jacked up the front end and turned the steering lock to lock with the key in my pocket (no steering lock). Have towed over 8000 miles with the battery hooked up and the key in my pocket.
