    I have read conflicting opinions on this so thought I would ask here....

    Flat towing a CJ5 with a T176 and D300 ... should the T176 be in first gear? (Obviously the Tcase must be in neutral)

    Thanks in advance.

    With as much conflicting information as I've read about this subject, I would recommend just disconnecting the driveshaft.

    Better safe than sorry

    Drop the drive shaft. I posted the pics Dante linked to. Those pics were a customers Dana 300 that was flat towed. Very little could be saved. He ended up having to purchase a complete transfer case. Despite what some folks say theyve been doing for years, just drop the driveshaft. I've seen that happen many times, although rarely that bad
