Hey Danny, thanks for reaching out. It is possible to flat tow your 1994 Jeep YJ, but the tow hooks on your bumper cannot be used for flat towing since there is no way to attach a tow bar to them.
We do offer base plates for the 1994 YJ like the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518112 but there are made to work with the standard factory bumper. If your bumper is aftermarket you will want to make sure the base plate mounting location is still accessible. As long as you still have access to the two bolt holes on each side and there are no obstructions you can easily bolt on the base plate and flat tow.
Here is a list of parts I recommend for completing your flat tow setup:
- etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # e34ZR
- Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional # SM99251
