Default Moving to Clearwater, need some help

So I got orders to Clearwater and will be moving in December. My problem is I was planning on trailering the Jeep, and its to wide for a uhaul trailer. Do you guys have any ideas how I could get it down there. I would rather not have my wife drive behind me in the Jeep, but I guess if its an option.

Thanks

If you are getting moved around regularly it might be worth the expense to equip the Jeep for flat-towing.

Check for cheap flights. Not sure what's available out there. When we moved back to Phx from Bend OR I had to fly back up to drive another vehicle down and it only cost $35 to fly. Thanks for serving and what part of Cincy you from? I was just back there a few weeks ago for my sisters wedding boy things have changed where i grew up.

See if you can find some sport/x take off 16 wheels and tires to make it narrow enough for the u haul trailer. Those tires and wheels are worth almost nothing. Maybe someone near you can help.

Damn I'm glad I seen this post I'm planning a 1300 mile DITY move to Tx in January and I was going to tow the Jeep with the Ford. I have 4.5 in backspacing wheels/12.5 wide.

I guess we are just gonna do a partial DITY and drive the Jeep ourselves, i think it will be much better this way. Thanks for the input guys.
