I’m surprised none of the programmers enable 2wd low,,it would be as simple as disabling the front axle disconnect.

I'm often occupied, by many things, often at the same time
Where you need to make a switchback tight turn.

Just be super light on the throttle or you'll scatter the rear axle or snap an axle shaft.

Stopping the FAD from engaging would provide 2WD in 4Lo.
Not sure but the FAD bypass mode witt try h the Tazzer JL my do this. It would also allow you to use the rear locker in 2wd.

Out of curiosity, in what situation would you want 2WD LOW?
When trying to pull a heavy load on pavement without binding the transfer gears. More control and less wear and tear on the clutch.

Pulling heavy enough loads on pavement that you need low range...in a JL with a 2klb tow capacity....with a clutch known to explode or catch fire with no trailer? What could possibly go wrong?
