Quadra-Trac glove box placard

Post by Driftwood »

I made this for my 79 Wag after installing a new push-pull switch in the glove box.

I included the transfer case speed limitations as detailed in the 1979 Technical Service manual.

Looks good. I had the same idea. The switch for my QT was just hanging under the dash. I put a filler plate where the ashtray used to be and installed the switch there. Works great. Just need a new sticker for it now.

I would add “Do not Flat Tow with 2 wheels up unless driveshaft is removed”

1979 Technical Service Manual

A-8 GENERAL INFORMATION

TOWING

General
A conventional towing sling is recommended for use
on all Jeep vehicles because of its stability and reduced
likelihood of damage. The following instructions apply
only to this device. When using other than sling-type
towing equipment, be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
A safety chain system that is completely independent
of the lifting and towing attachment must be used. Be
careful when installing safety chains so that they do not
damage the vehicle.
If additional ground clearance is required, a towing
dolly may be used. The end of the vehicle to be placed on
the dolly should be lifted with the same equipment as
when towing.

Front Towing-Front End Raised
Do not exceed a towing speed of 30 mph and do not
exceed a towing distance of 15 miles.
If this limit is not
possible, disconnect the rear propeller shaft or place a
dolly under the rear wheels.
If the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission,
shift transmission and transfer case into neutral.
If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission,
index and disconnect rear propeller shaft.

WARNING: Never tow a Jeep vehicle with the Emergency
Drive control activated or reduction unit in low
range (automatic transmission only).


Rear Towing-Rear End Raised
Do not exceed a towing speed of 30 mph and do not
exceed a towing distance of 15 miles.
If this limit is not
possible, disconnect the front propeller shaft or place a
dolly under the front wheels.

position to unlock steering column. Clamp the steering
wheel in the straight-ahead position. Do not use the
steering column lock as a substitute for a clamping
device.

Safely Precautions
  • Whenever possible, tow the vehicle from the rear to
    prevent damage to the transmission or rear axle.
  • Secure loose or protruding parts of a damaged
    vehicle.
  • The end of the vehicle being towed should be lifted a
    minimum of four inches off the ground. Check opposite
    end for adequate ground clearance.
  • Always use a safety chain system that is independent
    of the lifting and towing attachment.
  • Do not allow any of the towing equipment to bear on
    the fuel tank.
  • Do not go under the vehicle while it is lifted by the
    towing equipment.
  • Do not allow passengers to ride in a towed vehicle.
  • Always observe all state and local laws regarding
    such items as warning signals, night illumination,
    speed, etc.
  • Do not attempt a towing operation which could
    jeopardize the operator, any bystanders or other
    motorists.
WARNING: Never tow a Jeep vehicle with the Emergency
Drive control activated or reduction unit in low
range (automatic transmission only).
