Turning would only be an issue if the differentials were locked, correct? If unlocked, there should be no issue turning in 4wd

Jeeps have a true 4wd. All 4 wheels spin at the same speed all the time. So when you are turning while on a paved road the inside wheel has less distance to travel. This causes it to “skip”.

I took my JLUR (8 sp auto) on some easy to medium skilled trails a while back. 1st time Jeep owner/4 wheel drive owner here, so was somewhat cautious of moving between 4H/4L. 4L is possible from a dead stop, proven by a good friend that was on the trail with me. You won't like the sound of it . You need a little momentum and the transmission in neutral...somewhat idiot proof as the vehicle won't let you engage 4L past 5 mph.

It is recommended to shift in to 4L while going about 5mph to make it easier on the trans.
