> 4WD gives you the opportunity to get stuck farther in.
Fine advice I was given as a new jeep owner was, 2WD to get in, 4WD to get out. I don't have lockers, but 4lo has been sufficient for farm mud and snow so far.
what I have learned is the desire for a jeep is better served by a pickup and an atv. I am happy with the JK and will keep it, but the actual communities for most rural activities use one or the other, where the jeep is a compromise that means relatively mediocre utility and offroad capability in comparison.
It's the absolute best convertible 6cyl stick runabout dog carrier with a short wheelbase and gardening-trailer hitch for weekenders that is just constant fun, and I will maintain mine for another decade if I can, but rurally and for the money, get a used truck, atv, and maybe a dirt bike instead.
