How much steering do you lose in 4wd on dry pavement? That little extra forward traction you get from the front wheels may not be worth loss of steering. Part time 4wd and evasive action on dry roads can be tricky.
At a gas well I used to deliver sand to, there was a paved road that ended and turned into a dirt road. Leaving the site the dirt and paved road was straight, and about a quarter mile down there was a sharp 90 degree bend in the paved road. When it was muddy guys in pickups would regularly fly down the road dirt road in 4wd, get to the pavement keep going in 4wd, and get to the bend and go straight off the road when they couldn't steer.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.

You guys are starting to scare me now.
There's nothing civil about this war.
Just when I think nothing can surprise me, you guys come up with something way over the top - like this.
Thanks for making my morning coffee taste even better.
