Ya know with the way it shudders a few times looks like it might have had the front driver wheel off the ground too. So even in 4 wheel without lockers, front and rear drivers side just spin.

Also when the driver turns the wheel I would expect a gap if there wasn't a CV joint but sure enough, something is there.

Given the owner obviously doesn't care about tires, take that spare off and wedge it in front of the rear wheel.

I have no idea why Daimler-Chrysler ever produced a two wheel drive Wrangler.
To sell more Jeeps. They were cheaper.

If you watch the vid closely, it is in 4wd. The right front tire hops a bit during one of his attempts. Meaning, the left front is spinning and hopping the front axle. So, both drivers side tires are on the snow. :headbang:

Just man up, and take a whiz on that little snow pile. That should alleviate the "High Center" problem. He could get another video out of it too.

As mentioned, to sell more, cheaper jeeps.

Plenty of people just want a jeep for commuting, cruising around with the top down at the beach, etc. im surprised they didnt sell JKs like that. If they could offer a 2wd JL in the low $20ks and unlimited in mid 20ks theyd sell so many more.
My daughter loves driving my jeep all over town. I took her off roading; she was not enthused. No way she’d do it herself. She’d be perfectly content with 2wd wrangler that costs even less. She just wants to drive around with her friends with the top down. Preferably to the beach im sure.

Most wranglers never even see a dirt road. Im surrounded by them.
