Question about shifting from 2WD to 4WD
I have a 98 Jeep Wrangler that has a 2WD, 4WD(High) and a 4WD(Low). The
jeep has a manual shift to go from 2WD to 4WD. I usually drive on 2WD. I was just wondering if it is safe to shift from 2wd to 4wd while driving. I live in NY and on a moderate snowy day, the roads are pretty well cleared so I drive on 2wd but when I hit a bad patch, I shift to 4wd. At such times, is better to stop the car and change? On a related note, when the jeep is on 2WD does it act as Front Wheel Drive or Rear Wheel Drive? Thanx, AJ. |

You can shift into and out of 4 high at any legal speed. You must be
just rolling or stopped to shift into 4 low. Jeeps are rear wheel drive vehicles sometimes.
