Default Quick 2 door tow advice question?

So I am in a bind and have to tow a car, the total destination might be 30 mins or so.. I have a 2 door rubicon 6 spd 4:10s tow package all stock...

the question in weight is probably between 2500-3000lbs total...

Can I do this if careful? Will it be harmful to the Jeep? etc? I know short wheel base bit, But I will be taking my time.. I am just really screwed for time etc..

I would be using a Tow Dolly

Thanks

In my opinion, taking it easy, and a short 30 minute trip, you will be fine.

I'd agree and make that 30 minutes more like 40 minutes. Stick to the slow lane.

I've had to do this a couple of times with my Rubi. Once in the snow. Take it slow and you should be fine. It's not getting going that is the hard part it's the stopping. So give yourself the extra space to bring it all to hault.
