Question:
There is a dealer in Florida that specializes in old Cherokees. I am looking at a 1993 Cherokee base model, 4 cyl, 5 speed, 2WD. The old 1993 Motorhome flat tow guide says 4x4 only. Why? Maybe Jeep wanted to sell more 4WD. I had planned to buy a fixed hitch kit from you and weld up a custom bumper with the tabs.

I'm not sure why a 1993 Jeep Cherokee 4WD only can be flat towed, though it may have to do with the transmission gearing in that model; I don't think it had to do with sales but couldn't tell you for sure. You can flat tow the manual transmission 2WD or automatic 2WD with the drive shaft disconnected.
If you are looking to flat tow a '93 Jeep Cherokee by the front bumper I recommend the following parts:
- Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount - 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs # C19745
- Safety Chains: Roadmaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643
- Wiring Kit: Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251
I have added links to some video reviews for you to check out as well.
