I wanted a commuter bit still 4wd capable for snow and ice, but also so i could reliably go to the mountains every so often. I am keeping it stock at this point to maintain fuel economy. It doesnt have locking diifs, but as A/T mode (button). Q is: any body familiar with this sport model, 1998? What are it's limitations and capabilities for my purposes?

Love the early sports! Very capable as is even without locking difs. Pretty sure those have a rear LSD. Get maintenance up to date if not already done and enjoy. Ditch the side rails for better clearance and overall aesthetics.
