Answer
Well,  towing it with a tow dolly would be best.  You will need to remove the driveline on the end where the tires are on the ground.  Most tow dollies recommend you but the front tires on them and leave the rear axle on the ground.  

Crawl under the vehicle and remove the 4 bolts at the rear end housing and try to completely remove the driveline. If it does not slide out or you have to unbolt the other end to do such think about that.  If not then make sure you tie the driveline up under the vehicle very securely where it will not touch tires  the rear axle yoke assembly (what you removed it from ) and also that it is tied with a forward pressure to prevent it from falling out of the vehicle.  

It can be real dangerous if it falls and comes out.  Like a loose missle at times.

As to flat towing,  you might get away with it, but even with the transfer case in neutral (if it really has a TRUE NEUTRAL , you risk damage to at least the transfer case from the drivelines spinning inside the transfer case.  


Hope this helps.
