How big is the difference in off roading in a 4x2 vs 4x4 XJ

Exactly! My '03 WJ 4x2 is pure pavement princess, and all mods done to her are specifically towing upgrades. It took a while, but I've got her dialed in to be a proper tow rig for my travel trailer. That being said, some times it comes down to having the funds, as I sold my old 4x2 XJ to my neighbor who had to scape together funds for a Dana 30, transfer case, suspension, tires, etc. It took him a while as well and now that old XJ is a decent rock monster. Time and experience is a valuable teacher, glad to have the folks on the forum as a resource.

Well I guess I just don't get it because I lifted my xj and yota to help clear tires for trails. And even then, our cherokee has a 4 inch lift and we are going to put 35s on it. And I couldn't imagine wheeling with only 2wd..I guess if it was for looks or just logging roads a 2wd would be enough.

I'm just not sure what kind of wheeling you can do with the rear locked 2wd, or even an open four-wheel-drive for that matter. my Yota is locked front and rear and that's hardly enough sometimes. We must just hit different kinds of trails!

I wish i could find a 2 door xj like my old one but 2wd so i would have an excuse to make a sick street/pre runner race jeep.
