Are you doing this on the street or on the dirt? This can happen (wheel hop/slip) on street, You should only use 4x4 on wet or else loose dirt or rock type of surfaces.

If you are serious, then this must be your first 4x4. No offense, but you should read that section of the manual. You are not supposed to drive in 4x4 unless required by lost of traction. When you turn in hard dry surface the front tires and rear tires are running a different radius (distance) while being forced to go the same speed, someone has to give. While on snow, mud, sand, dirt, the low traction (friction coefficient) allows for the different radius of the front and rear tires.

When they say wet pavement, they mean extreme wet and little to no traction. Not just a rainy day wet.

I wish I could get your parents to change the WiFi password.

No, it is not called locked center differential. Part time 4x4 like the sport or the Rubicon don´t have a center differential. Some AWD systems have a center differential and that one can be locked.
Everyone can learn something today.

You obviously don´t know what a differential is. A transfer case (that´s what the t stands for) may have or not have a differential.....buddy

Thats why i said locked. The XJ for example had an option to lock or “unlock “ your center diff aleviating the symptom OP is talking about. Hes lucky he didnt sheer a spline turning around in a parking lot with those 37’s
