If your world is flat, maybe. My world has mountains, slickrock and snow.

What a silly thing to say. I find 4WD with LSD or lockers quite useful for
steep terrain, big rocks or the loose 'n soft like sand and snow. With just
2WD, obstacles can only be attempted with speed and inertia which will
really get you in trouble when you're bounced off line and things get broken
more often. With 4WD, low range in the xfer case and a closed diffy its
pretty amazing what one can get in and out without incident.
Good wheelin' to ya,
