They don't handle that badly. Mostly, it'll just tend to understeer when making tight corners from a stop (under throttle) in heavy rain or snow if running FWD. Keep in mind, he's in Washington, so in the winter, he probably needs 4wd anyway. Having such a short wheelbase, TJs aren't terribly stable direction-wise in the snow. Locked driveshafts in 4wd helps that a bit.
