Default Towing a mb willys jeep

Hi Guys

I am seeking advice from my fellow MLU's regarding the possibility of towing my Jeep. I recently sold my Jeep trailer due to lack of storage space at home and the cost of off site storage was becoming too expensive.

I was sitting on the throne this morning (that is where I get most of my best ideas) and thought I would look into the feasability of manufacturing an "A" frame and towing my Jeep to shows. But before I get too excited I thought I would run the idea past my fellow MLU friends as there could be someone out there who may be towing their Jeep and able to advise.

I know I would have to tow the Jeep with the Transmission and Transfer both in nuetral. However I am not sure how fast I could travel or for how far I could tow the Jeep behind my 4x4 without causing mechanical damage to my Jeep. . Has anyone done this before and better still can it be done. I am looking at the idea of towing the Jeep to shows like Corowa, which is a long way from home and saving the expensive cost of trailer hire. I have seen photos of Jeeps with "A" frames attached and wonder if it can safely been done.

Cheers

Tony
