Thanks...great site...think I have a better grasp of the differences now.
I'm (obviously) new to learning this, so I appreciate advice from
experienced jeep owners. Any opinions on the following?:

If I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like the Selec-Trac
would give more options and allow for more control...
especially with the Trak-Loc rear differential which it says
is available...but would also require more knowledge and
experience to use it most effectively.
It says the NV242 transfer case comes in two versions:
the NV242LD with a rubber boot to cover the rear output
shaft and the NV242HD with a cast aluminum housing.
Would the -HD be better for daily driving on a rocky dirt road?

The QuadraDrive seems to be the easiest to use while still
providing versatility for many kinds of power/torque transfer.

Thanks for the information...

Thanks...the tires are an excellent point.
Would probably be a good idea to switch them before next winter.
Appreciate your help.

Or, call your local tire stores and check to see if they will swap out tires
from a brand new vehicle.

Many tire stores will give you a pretty good trade-in price on NEW tires
from a NEW vehicle with less than 100 miles on the odometer. Some tire
stores may want you to drive directly to their store from the dealer. Find
out the exact brand, model and size of the tire that comes on the vehicle
you want, and call your tire store for trade-in value.

That way you can have the tires you want right from the get-go.
