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?
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.
