We tow our 2000 TJ. We love it! Very easy to hook-up, you just have to make sure the steering column is in the unlock position. (Don't ask!)
The steering wheel lock on the TJ is easy to remove/disable if you are willing to spend 30 minutes or so. I was not comfortable leaving a key in the ignition to unlock the wheel as the temptation to mess with the Jeep might be too great if someone noticed the key when we stopped briefly while towing and then in addition, I always wondered if I really had double checked to make sure that the wheel was unlocked.
I did the removal on our TJ so it now works similar to the newer JK models.
There are several good tutorials out there that show you how to do the mod if interested.
