I've towed my 1986 a lot-4 flat. I put the transmission in second gear and the transfer case in neutral. I then disconnect the negative post at the battery and put the key in the "on" position. This way i can release the steering lock, but don't have the ignition system energized.
I had spent some time determining which gear selection was best. Neutral on the transfer case was sort of a given, but the transmission gear selection was a bit of a debate. Second gear does help move some fluid to help keep it lubricated. the longest I've towed it without starting/driving under it's own power is about 500 miles(I know some manufacturers recommend starting the towed vehicles periodically)
