Do you all remember that expose Fox news did on the Chrysler plant, workers on their lunch breaks getting hammered and stoned in the parking lot? I think they finished your Jeep up after lunch.

Do you have the sway bar disconnects and lockers??
My 2 door sport says "Wrangler Unlimited" on the side from the factory. Anything is possible.

I did a quick test drive in 4-Low and it was acting weird. I'm a super noob so maybe it is nothing. Anyways I had a big long paranoid rant about how I thought it was messed up. In my head I was expecting to see 4.10. Then I remembered it is a ratio 4:1 and so this is probably all good.

Hopefully you did a test drive in the dirt. Your jeep will not drive correctly in 4lo on concrete, and you may break something.

Yeah, I did a test drive on some grass and through the woods. I know about the "Part time 4WD" asspect. I used the clutch to engage 4-Low. It seemed to take a bunch of pressure to get 4WD to engage. Like more than picking up a gallon of milk. I've got to work today but I will try to figure it out later. Anyways I gave it a quick spin in the middle of the night out in a field and after driving it in 4-Low for a bit it just sort of stopped. Sorry I cannot explain more I really have to leave right now.

you may want to have your axles check to make sure they are Rubi 44's with the lockers? It sounds like either they put rubi stickers on your hood or someone did a parts swap
