four down so simple so easy
If you maintain the toad.
So far over the years I've lost a 2 differentials 4 universals, and a couple tires. had the bar come loose of the jeep, bent the frame of the jeep, and always ended putting the jeep on a trailer to get it home.
Maintenance on the trailer over 50k miles 1 tire. road hazard.
When we bought the trailer used, I upgraded the tires to load range E and installed bearing buddies, changed the lights to LEDs, never had a problem.
You loose a differential the first thing you will notice is the smoke from the two ruined front tires.
these jeeps today are not your grandpa's free wheeling hub jeeps.
here's another thought, when that jeep is up on the trailer you not have a stone chip or a broken windshield .
Along with those thoughts, there is the issue of doing serious off-roading (think Moab, Utah), and you break the Jeep, if you tow four down how will you get it home?
If you have a trailer, the only problem is getting it off the trail where you broke it. Then, you just load it on the trailer and go home. You can take your time to get it fixed. If you are towing four down, you might have to get it fixed before you can take it home, depending on what broke.
