Either get under it and disconnect the driveshaft, or get a driveshaft disconnect, and tow it four down.
I once had a Datsun 2 wheel drive diesel pickup that could not be towed four down. I could get under there, remove the clamps from the differential yoke, wrap the u-joint caps with tape to hold them in place, and tie the driveshaft up out of the way in about 5 minutes. Upon arrival at our destination, it took another five minutes to put it back into driving configuration.
Saving the several hundred dollars for a driveshaft disconnect was well worth the 10 minutes out of each trip, IMO.
