Just another thought ... do you have a friend that'd be willing to drive the truck out there with you, following you? He\she could spend a day or so at your new place and help you unload. Then fly him\her back home.

16ft is long enough? I know the bumper to bumper is a little bit over 18ft, the wheel base is is about 14ft.
So you're able to pick it up in one location and drop the trailer off in another with them? Sounds good, I'll check it out when I'm at my CPU.
Thanks for info on the tables, think one of mine can unscrew, the other ones legs are all one piece and the rest have wrought iron in between so dont think I'll be able to take em apart, I will buy extra furniture pads though. Thanks.

Jake. . .I agree. . .he's making way to hard for himself. . . .either 1: get a dolly and yank the rear drive shaft, or 2: get a tow bar and yank both drive shafts.

if you havent lately, while your under your truck go ahead and change the diff fluid since you'r going a good way. . . .

i have amsoil in em, only think check the rear for those damn C clips that the 1/2 tons with LSD have, then i just put it back in. its got a 100k mile life.... besides my buddy has an 02, 92k miles on it, never once popped open the pumpkin....i keep wanting him to so i can see the teeth, but i havent heard any grinding, even laid down on the taligate while he drove throught his neigborhood and didnt hear any grinding..


the issue im having is just hearing different things, Towrig posted from the manual not to take of the driveshafts. i got a quote for 645 for someone to put it on a car transport, door to door, so will probably do that as the car dollys that uhaul has dont fit my tires 275 60 20 and the towbars are gonna be round 150 min, but thats if they fit perfectly and dont need and additional brackets...most of the towbars i found were 300...

ORIGINAL: RamItOne

thanks, how do i put the transfer case in N, ive never needed to do it...
ill prob wind up the two wheels off route, the truck wont put too much tongue weight thought?
I would also like to know how to put the T Case in Neutral. I have the crappy electronic dash t case shifter, dodge did away with the manual shift on the floor for the 08 model. There is a small pinhole for N below the ****, but I do not know how to use it, I just blinks, but doesnt do anything when I push it in.

i didn't know which one you had, so i just typed up the whole section from the manual. as for the dolly, the manual not to use one anyways for the 4x4, but tow bars with all 4 on the pavement is gravy. my '06 rubicon has the same setup and transfer case as our trucks and i have towed it thousands of miles with a tow bar with not a single problem (except for the damn rock chips flying up from the rear tires of the tow vehichle[:@][:@][:@]
