Amen, my '91 is used on Colorado 4X4 Roads (San Juan Mountains near and
around Telluride and Ouray) for hours at a time. 4.0L, five speed, lifted 3
1/2 inches. I don't use 4X4 much on the highway unless it is snow covered
or icy.

Re: WRANGLER YJ - WHEN TO USE 4WD?
I agree with Mike concerning snow covered roads
My previous 88YJ and 01TJ was just plain useless as a 2X4
on snow covered roads. A front wheel drive car performs better
But I agree with Earle, a dry unpaved road can still
have too much traction to safely use 4X4.
Now my Rubie with the limited slip almost doesn't
really need 4X4 at all. (My first limited slip rear end) :-)

Re: WRANGLER YJ - WHEN TO USE 4WD?
The problem with limited slip 2wd on slippery roads, is the tendency for the
front and rear of the vehicle to exchange places, unless you use a light
foot on the throttle. This is one of the things you learn, just after
putting an Auburn Gear differential in your van, on encountering a freak May
blizzard in the high country...

Re: WRANGLER YJ - WHEN TO USE 4WD?
The problem with limited slip 2wd on slippery roads, is the tendency for the
front and rear of the vehicle to exchange places, unless you use a light
foot on the throttle. This is one of the things you learn, just after
putting an Auburn Gear differential in your van, on encountering a freak May
blizzard in the high country...
