A modern Wrangler should perform great in the rain while in 2 wheel drive. If you are having problems it can almost certainly be attributed to the tires. (Just like any other vehicle that isn’t performing as well as it should in the rain.)Ask a simple question and the a$$hats come out of the woodwork..

Who said it was an additive? A list can be A "and" B.A comma does not suggest additive. It's a list separator.

It’s also a factor of how much you mod a truck from what Jeep safety engineers designed it to be in factory form.Its the tires, not the vehicle..
Agree. My FWD Honda Civic equipped with winter tires is significantly better (traction, braking, steering) in the snow than my AWD Subaru Impreza equipped with all-season tires.I don't know. But proper tires and driving habits are more important than AWD/4wd in almost all traction situations.
A good example is Subaru. They have a reputation of being snow eating winter machines. However, I have seen videos of a FWD Honda out preforming an AWD Subie in snowy/icy conditions because the Honda had proper snow tires and the Subie did not. I've also seen plenty of rigs with good MT tires get through nasty mud in 2wd while a street tire equipped vehicle in 4wd was stuck and spinning.
On snow it's stupid if you don't have a differential in the transfer case because that will force a spin. Anyone who races on ice (as I have) will tell you that.I think 4-Hi would be fine to use on wet roads, since it would be similar to running it all the time in snowy climates.
I also think the manual says you shouldn’t go over 55mph in 4-Hi. Otherwise I think you’re good.
With 4 studded tires I could beat anyone ice racing, well except my friends with sub's and audi's with studs.I don't know. But proper tires and driving habits are more important than AWD/4wd in almost all traction situations.

Ya, my uncle said the same thing about smoking, never broke anything. What's the advantage?Holy crap. Most of the posters in that thread are long gone.
But yeah, I’ll put mine in 4hi if it’s raining bad enough or slick enough. I’ve done it for years on multiple vehicles. Nothing has ever broken.
Maybe they went off the road in the rain???Holy crap. Most of the posters in that thread are long gone.
It can go 2-3 months here with no measurable rain. Then we’ll get 2+ inches in an hour. The roads get super slick with all the oil and dust build up. It’s almost like driving on ice.Ya, my uncle said the same thing about smoking, never broke anything. What's the advantage?
