And the OP's YJ has an axle disconnect that makes your comments irrelevant.

YJ's have an axle disconnect....

You should stick to your J10 driveway snow plow SnoMan, we actually
drive our 4x4's off and 'on' the road in this group.

Once a troll always a troll as you just cannot get it out of your
blood can you. You may think your are being cute but others can see
you for what you are. Some come here looking for advise and some like
you come here to make jokes and act like a troll. Knock yourself out!

Typical troll again because when you use the front axle under power it
has to have wheels turn at a different speeds in a turn due to physics
involved and then there is the fact that Ujoints are not constant
velocity in a turn so they complicate this further and the net result
is nasty driveline bind and wheels having to skid in a turn and loose
traction and reduce truning radius. (not to mention strain of front
axles, joints and stub shafts) You would know this if you really knew
about the physics involved but your knowledge is very limited here and
push button 4x4 drive was made just for "people" like you. I tell it
like it is not like you want to believe it is. Listen and read
sometimes and you might just learn something.
