Technical info aside. Is it worth doing as far as wheeling is concerned?

Why are you flat towing, What do you mean is it worth doing? I want to someday drive all over the states in an rv with a jeep in tow. I guess it depends on how heavily modded the jeep is. I would say if the jeep is more Offroad then street ready, I would want it on a trailer. Especially with expensive tires.

If I was going a good couple hours away to wheel it. And yes it's pretty modded with aggressive tires. I guess what I mean is that is it worth flat towing for piece of mind in case I brake something while wheeling
