Unless there is danger of the vehicle rolling, there is no reason to apply
the brakes. And, a slight roll is good for the effort to select 4LO.
All you need do is come to a stop, or very slow -- say, walking speed -- and
select N on the transmission and 4LO. The gears in the tcase are not
syncronized so they are likely to grind a bit unless they are going the same
speed

There is if you want to use the method above because my why freezes
everything with brakes and park. BTW during winter I may shift in and
out of 4x4 20 to 30 times a day plowing snow and maybe half that amout
of more into lo range is snow is tuff. I cannot have it clashing and
last 10 years and more doing this.

Again there is the moving way that can grind and there is the no grind
method that I use. I guess if you like grinding them, use his method
here.

You can shift into and out of 4HI as often as you want, you dont' even need
to slow down -- much less stop. All you need is to have the front hubs
locked -- if that is an option for you. Shifting into and out of 4HI on the
fly is a sales feature of the TJ and YJ, and the CJ is capable of the same
if the hubs are prepared first by locking them at the trail head (mine were
locked in my driveway once, and never unlocked since but that's just me I
suppose).
If the vehicle is not in danger of moving, then the brakes are not required
to select 4LO. You can stomp your feet and get red in the face as much as
you want, but the fact is, there is no need to stand on the brake pedal if
the vehicle is not going to move otherwise. It does not hurt to stand on the
brake, but it is not required.
Park might be a requirement, but the brakes are not. I think that Neutral is
the requirement though. I just went out and checked, and Neutral is the
proper gear to select to engage 4LO. In my CJ5 (with a manual transmission)
I frequently must select 1st or 2nd and release the clutch a bit to move the
gears in the tcase so that the shift lever will move, using this logic, Park
would be the wrong gear to use. If you are having trouble selecting 4LO
while the transmission is in Park, try selecting Neutral, then selecting
4LO.
