Well Sir, I'm assuming you know what you're doing in purchasing a 2007 Wrangler "Two wheel drive". I'm also assuming you know for sure that it's two wheel drive. Jeep made two wheel drive Wranglers in the past but, in very limited production. Most were destined for the U.S. Mail service. But, just how many they've made in the past decade or so, I have no idea.
Now, unless you're getting some seriously "GREAT" deal on it, as in almost free, the resale on that model most likely will really be lousy. Not many people, especially RV people that use their jeeps or exploration as well as a toad for run-a-round while camping and at home, would even think of purchasing a two wheel drive model.
But, in any case, if it is a two wheel drive for sure, and, you're going ahead with the deal, I know of only two options for you. One, a drive shaft disconnect which, for many out there, have been a real pain in the a$$ when it comes time for them to re-engage after towing in not so good conditions like rain, sleet, snow etc. because of the grime and gunk that accumulates on the splines of the connector.
The second option is to get under it and physically disconnect the drive shaft yourself. I wouldn't do that if someone PAID ME TO! This is the year 2013, soon to be 2014, physically disconnecting drive shafts for towing toads, went out a few decades ago. Re-connecting in a campground, after a long days drive, in the dark, possibly wet, in an unknown area, etc. NOPE, not for me.
Of course you can always trailer it too. Now you've got to find a place for the trailer when at camp sites and RV parks, good luck there. Can a dolly be used? Well, I guess it could if, you back the Jeep onto it and lock the steering in place. Yep, not fun either.
So, there's your choices. Good luck.
