Replying to: lolo83 (Mar 10, 2008 8:32 am) IMO- If they put it on a flatbed. They pulled it up on the bed of the flat bed and that was the only towing that went on with the Jeeps wheels on the ground. If the wheels locked then there is no telling what happened (as far as stress and potential cracks) up stream from the wheels to the transfer case. There are a lot of parts fron the tires to the T-case. My 2000 locked the front pinion bearing to the pinion shaft. Which also fragged the driveshaft Ujoint both front tires and also scared the #$% out of the wife and I. You are lucky he wasn't hurt.
