Its obviously capable enough without it, so why not?

A CDL is a very good thing. I run mine anytime I am off road. I never wheel in low range W/O my CDL locked.

A CDL is a very good thing. Just puts extra strain on your truck to not use it and be lurching and bucking around.

Default First time out with my daughter..

This was an amateur video I did with my phone camera on the windshield. Daughter and her friend had a great time, oh and my 6 year old boy was hanging out in the back seat just chillin. Enjoy!

Yes, I like to go fast.

Another one, same trail with my brother this time.

I tend to disagree , I have always felt that by running the CDL when wheeling it spreads out the torque/strain between the front and rear axle making for better traction with less strain/use of the ETC and drive train wear.

That is what I said as well. You just said it much better than I did. If you don't use your available CDL, then one is putting "extra strain on your truck" and one will "be lurching and bucking around" when you don't need to be.
