(esp. with aftermarket brakes)
eh... i disagree. first off a stock jeep wont switch to fwd. and noone i know would ever modify their jeep to do that.
id go with a rwd. roll the front up thats easy enough. and then just go 1mph faster than the trailer and roll up. even if the car is going 101 and the trailer 100, the 100-0 mph deceleration would be very slow because its ONLY decelerating the rotational inertia. not the whole car's. so with a little rubber mark it should stop easily. its prolly harder to do in fwds like minis tho.
stick a linelock in there and mightbe easier. or if its slower speeds go in reverse and parking brake.
