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.
