I thought the title denoted sexual connotations.

Yuuup same here. 4L and gear 2 ha ha. Sometimes gear 1 if want to go really slow over something. It's kinda embarrassing I wish there was a 2L for the 231 would be perfect

LOL. I don't mind running in 4wd. I usually drive pretty slow. I fill up, hit the trails for a few hours and still have 90% tank full.

Agree with always a ton of fuel left. One thing is though my brakes stay pretty cool on trails when heading down steep inclines for long periods of times. Usually have to stop to let others brakes cool down... But I don't mind it. It does work for me. Have thought about re gearing it just comes down to wanting to stay in 2H during wheeling that's all. And for the cost of it not worth it to me atleast for a long time. Especially when want to get other things done on the jeep. Off topic put want to do tube doors front and rear with some tj speakers mounted onto each other. Now that would be pretty sick

I've never even put mine in 4 wheel drive yet.....and for that matter, I'm not even sure how to yet....not that it matters anyway, I still have to put my front drive shaft back in and replace my front driver side half shaft :-(

You guys without snow have to work to hard too find an excuse for 4wd, I kind of feel sorry for you.

I really only lock it in when I'm crawling. Otherwise 2wd is beefy enough for everything else I do.

I only go into 4wd when I go offroad, Even then I only shift into 4wd when I'm doing a steep climb, or when I can not get over something in 2wd
