Flat Towing My Manual BII
I would like to tow my BII manual 4x4 with all four down. I saw a post for an automatic. Do I need to make any modifications? I would truly appreciate your help.

Ranger Dave,
Thanks for your quick response. From all that I saw online and what I was told i understood that I could. Then, one company told me I needed a $1500 unit to disengage the driveshaft. So, your response was really important.
Thanks again for your help.

Towing a B2 with an automatic!!
Yes it can be done you need to make sure the Tcase is in neutral and you can tow away.
All bets are off if it is an electric shift Tcase I am not sure if the electric one can be placed into neutral. Someone should know out here.
With Tcase in Neutral the transmission does not turn so you can tow away. You need a driveshaft disconnect only if you can't put the transfer case in neutral.
