Something binding slow speed 4wd
 

When I put my 2000 JGC V-8 into full time 4WD, it works fine. But
when I go back to 2WD and I am cornering tight at slow speed, it's
like someone put the brakes on. Never noticed this until a Jeep
dealer did a complete brake job last summer. They replaced rotors and
drums and pads. Could something be binding down there. If I drive it
straight for awhile, it goes away.

I would be checking wheel bearings out I think.

I am not that knowledgeable, but here's a laymans guess. Possibly your
4wd is not disengaging and driving a bit more may cause it to finally
disengage. Possible?

Sounds about right. Wife would complain about the same thing. You need to be
moving when shifting and even get on the power a little after the shift for
it to disengage fully. Read this right in the owner's manual.
