Your Wrangler has Part-Time 4WD regardless whether it is a stick or autobox.
(Command -Trac)

If you had a Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, or Liberty and an automatic you MIGHT
have full time 4WD (Select-Trac) and be able to use 4WD on pavement.

Basically the front and rear driveshafts get locked together.

When you turn a corner, the front wheels travel a different distance
than the rear wheels.

This means a wheel must scuff the ground in a corner or something 'will'
break.

I actually find it easier in some snow conditions to drop to 2 wheel
drive at city intersections when I am crossing traffic in a left turn.
That scuff can get the tires up on top of the slush and you can just
keep going straight. Once I am around the turn, I then drop back to
4x4.
