Generally those have transfer cases with a real neutral position. However still advisable to make sure it won’t starve a bearing or something in the t case.
Pretty sure they are all body on frame construction, so fabbing a pull point for a simple tow bar should be doable.
The biggest issue I’d envision is highway speed capability of them. Not only how well they handle but how long they’ll last at whatever speed you’ll tow. If you’re a right lane 55ver, shouldn’t be any issue. But yanking one of those at 75 mph X country could be problematic.
It’s the main reason I don’t tow my CJ 5. 55-60 mph it’s stable, but The jeep itself only goes about 65 full throttle with a tailwind, and I’m not comfortable trying to roll at the speed I prefer to drive with something not designed to go that fast on a hook.
They are cool little trucks though and a good unique toad option maybe!
