4:1 Rock-Trac Part Time 4wd system?

[White Eagle]

Yeah I know, I’m a simpleton, utilitarian, and father of high speed low drag…Cept concerning sleeping bags, I like a big canvas flannel nightmare

Don‘t have to buy a tazer if the swaybar ain’t there, nor the tpms sensors.

Honestly though, tire pressure and Rancho RS7Mt shocks makes the majority of my trip fantastic, swaybar is of little concern.

I like my ride to feel like a Caddy with bad shocks, like a cloud

Unless you like dash lights you'll still need a tazer or jscan or something to turn off the options you delete. This isn't a YJ where you can just pull stuff off without triggering the computer. The other advantage of the tazer is front locker only capability, lockers in 4hi, and even the rear locker in 2wd are all possible. And you can turn the tpms threshold down to 22psi. No lights until it's below 20psi.

Hp is simply torque over time. The power output is still the same to each tire. The tires are all 4 getting the same amount of torque and hp in 4wd. Even if only 1 has traction the other 3 are outputing the same force/power. 1 can be doing 100% of the work moving the vehicle, but the power output is the same to all. Lockers don't even change that. What they do change is the resistance as the 1 tire with traction can provide the resistance to massively increase power output to all 4 wheels.

Only if the diffs are locked in of you have a tru trac or limited slip rear ends. In a Rubicon in 4wd on an extreme angle where one wheel is elevated the one elevated will spin.

Only problem with that type of ride is once you go off road you will be hitting the bumpstops all the time.

And they will all have the equal tiny amount of torque that it takes to spin that wheel. Also, that's no center diff, so you'll never get 1 wheel to spin, it will always be at least 2. The power output is constant and equally distributed to all 4 wheels in 4 wheel drive period. Even an open diff with only one spinning, the other has that same amount of torque being applied that it takes to spin a wheel with no resistance. The difference is that the other wheel has traction so that tiny amount of power isn't enough to turn it. Braking the spinning wheel via BLD, a limited slip, or a locker doesn't transfer the power from one side to the other. It increases the resistance on the free side so that more power can be produced, thus causing the stationary wheel to turn. It's a resistance issue not a power transfer one.

No doubt, more occasionally. Never spilled a drop of beer though. I’m lucky I can drink and drive and drink and shoot on my private land.

Before I went in the Military I was grand champion of drinking, driving, and shooting road signs left handed over the roof of my truck.

Ask the salesman, he doesn’t know jack crap

I almost crapped myself with your comment, envisioning the salesperson who drives an electric bike and brings his tofu and quinoa lunch to work in a little recycle bag. Then you try to get some information out of him about the best gear ratio to switch to with 37" tires.

Gotta go really bad now before I have an accident.

When I pulled that loaded Amazon Ford delivery van or whatever those big things are called, the tires were all turning on the snow pack and ice, then the right front got down to concrete - it was interesting listening to it squeal as I knew the other three were turning the same RPM on the ice and I was pulling him up by one tire, one axle.
