    Actually, yes. It happened to me, ironically, picking up a truck from RN several years ago. Front wheels on a tow dolly though.
    Well I guess it is possible! I knew someone on here would have a story I it was. Did you have locking hubs up front? Did you feel it right away in your tow rig? Any damage?

      No FWH's. Luckly not at highway speeds either. I was probably 20 minutes from RN on a back road. Rear wheels of the towed vehicle locked up and the truck tried to climb up the dolly! The wheel straps held enough to prevent any real disaster but wasn't a pleasant sensation non the less.
      To me, it's worth it to undo the 4 lousy driveshaft bolts at the diff and tie it up out of the way. Wish someone had suggested it to me way back when.

        If you are that concerned about having the transfer case shift position just drop your drive shafts.

          What if you have an overdrive? Should you engage the overdrive and transmission in fourth?
