I'm not sure but I don't think the Wrangler has any front axle disconnect at all. Some time back I saw YT video about changing the spindles and axle shafts to install lock out hubs. The early XJ's had a right axle disconnect that was apparently a problem so they just eliminated it about 1990 so they made ~10 yrs of them with no provision to isolate the front driveline. I got lucky in that my old XJ has the Selec-Trac so it never had the disconnect but the usual Jeep guy thing is to take it apart and turn it around so it is always engaged. We run ours in "full time" all the time anyway, which the manual says that you can do on/off pavement.
So does the axle disconnect on the new pickups stay engaged if you shut off the key when you are in 4wd? Sometimes I park on a slippery hill and I want all four wheels holding! I knew somebody that had a Honda Ridgeline and that dang thing would default back to 2-hi every time you shut it off
I saw a late model Silverado "work truck" that belonged to the county and it actually still had a manual transfer case lever. I could almost live with that but I suppose it had the electric in-out thing on the front axle.
