Tell you what op. I'll be in Texas in about a year. Dfw to be exact. Come find me. I'll have my jeep behind a 40' conversion motor home. Should be easy to spot me after Moab.

OH Crap.
He has that thing that thing that can't be fixed!!
Big words from such a small man. I'll let you in on a secret kid..... You ain't **** around here. Your pathetic attempt at acting like Billy bad *** isn't working. You claim to wheel like a pro.... in a sad little stock 2wd xj.... in Texas. A dry, hilly land. You have not wheeled **** yet. I'm going to let you see this before I remove you from this forum.
BOOM LAMO
So.......You come on this site.
Ask a fairly stupid question such as "what's the difference off-roading a 2wd compared to a 4wd".
Do the played out, smart *** your/you're correction thing.
Make a false statement, and get called on it.
And then respond with this lovely Shakespearian quote above.
Just doesn't seem like a good way to get help on the forum (if your still here).

2wd can be decent if you do it right. My XJ is 2wd (couldnt pass it up, 01 with 79k at the time for $2000) But ive got 5 inch lift with 33 inch Mickey Thompson atz's and a locking diff. She handles way better than most folk think. The locker is a must though if you want to go anywhere in 2wd.
Even the snow storm we had i was able to get out of my driveway, up an down mountain roads and all.

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.
