This happened because you towed it with the rear wheels on the ground and I'm quite shocked to hear and see in the pictures that most of you tow this way as it is not recommended at all unless necessary ie front end damage.


You should have the rear wheels on the dolly because you can place it in park and use the parking brake to prevent this kind of incident. now your might be saying what about brake lights... well you can use hazard lights since the dollies have brake lights and or use magnetic tow lights.


Here is a breakdown of ways to tow copied from my other post:


This applies to all Jeeps and all other SUV's and trucks:


You can tow it:


1) All 4 wheels off the ground in park w/ parking brake. (always recommended method for the newbies) ***A MUST FOR AWD OR "FULL TIME" 4 WHEEL WITHOUT REMOVING SHAFTS OR USING A TRANS PUMP.***


2) With the drive wheels (usually the rear) on the Dolly front wheels steering locked or strap locked, vehicle in park. t-case in 2wd, park brake on. This cannot be done with full time 4wd or AWD. You MUST have a "2wd" setting
***Most Recommended way. This should be the first choice next to flatbeding.***


3) Front wheels on dolly, t-case in neutral, trans in neutral park brake off
***Non t-case (electronic 4wd) set to "2wd" trans in neutral w/ manual trans. Automatics also this way but towed within 15 mi no farther low speed (55 max).*** straps MUST be secure and have safety chains


4) (For again ALL types) front wheels on the dolly, rear- drive shaft off, trans in park park brake off. straps MUST be secure and have safety chains




Flat towing (all 4 wheels on the ground) can be done t-case in neut or 2wd trans in neutral on manual trans. Automatics must have both front and rear driveshafts removed.


Main concern is to limit transmission heat as with the engine off they will not be cooled by the pump. This is why the driveshaft is removed on the drive axel. This can also be compensated by putting an electronic fluid pump inline. Manual trans and differentials do not need cooling.


I'm pretty sure I covered every way of not feel free to chime in, but when using dollies your first choice should be rear wheels (drive wheels) off the ground. it is the simplest and fastest way and unlike removing the driveshaft, you are able to use the park brake which will aid in the vehicle not falling off the dolly. this is why it is most recommended vs pulling the drive shaft.
