Should I drive in 4WD Lock or low?
Without an Auto setting, 4WD High is what you’d use in any situation that’s low-traction but relatively high-speed—a dirt road or snowy paved road. 4WD Low is strictly for slow off-roading or places where torque multiplication would really help you out (like deep sand).

Which is better 4WD with open or locked differentials?
Although having a locked rear differential can yield better results in certain situations than even 4WD, there are times when there is no substitute for 4WD. 4WD with open differentials supplies power to both the front and the rear axles. Now remember, we have open differentials, so power is being supplied to the wheels with the least resistance.
How do I lock the rear differential on a Rubicon?
Normally in a stock Rubicon Jeep we would need to be in 4WD low to engage the rear locker, and then press the AXLE LOCK button once to engage the rear differential. Instead, for this example we will use a Jeep equipped with an ARB selectable locker to illustrate the rear locker.
