P.S. — Talking of dollies, I saw my first ever Jeep Wrangler on a dolly yesterday. It was a rental dolly so likely that Jeep owner had not set it up for flat towing. It was quite stable at well over 70 MPH when he passed me.
Most surge brake configurations have a reverse lock out, either electric or mechanical.

Wranglers are not supposed to be towed on a dolly: either 4 down or on a trailer. The transfer case is not engineered to have the front and rear driveshafts operating at that large a speed difference.
