It's a 4X2 setup. so can be towed on a dolly without a problem. just knock the red lever into neutral, as then you are not having to turn the T'box whilst towing it.

You can tow on a dolly, but leave it IN 2 wheel drive, if you pop it into the centre slot between 2 and 4 wheel drive, it will try to drive all 4 wheels and ride off the dolly, also if you have fw hubs, to be safe engage them too :wink:

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40
