Does the rear end roll?

Does the rear end roll?

yes the rear has tires on it and bolted in a bit

get 2 wheel dollies from harbor frieght and set the frame on them. Winch it backwards on to a trailer and use 2 engine hoists to lift the front end up. Set the dollies under the frame again once the Scout is far enough on the trailer. Reverse process for unloading.

Thats the redneck way to do it.

I must be a redneck. cause that is pretty much what I was going to say.

Get a spare rear axle, chain the frame to that and pull it on the trailer

Any wrecker with a strap unit can do it.

When I had to move the Tj from one house to the new one I kind of did the same thing.I jack it up enough to clear the trailer.Backed the trailer up to it .the front bumper/cross member was a good foot over the trailer.I slapped a hand cart under and continued to slide the trailer under it.I jacked the front end up and dragged the hand cart out.Granted it didn't have any drive drain in it.

slaped the 60 under it tack welded some stuff cant wait to get it to the house
