No sure, but we had between 30-50cm of snow here today and My Rubicon was a tank in the snow. Had no trouble getting to worksite or up completely snow covered and drifted in roads.

Ooohhh!!! I forgot about that one.There are times when Ludicrous Speed is necessary.
I figured out his issue. It's off to the left side, under "Location: ". See how it says "New Brunswick"? That's his issue. Here in Nova Scotia, we know how to make snow our B!tch.Yes, traction control doesnt turn off when you engage 4 but i was thinking that later

Iām on 35ā Duratracs, too.
Have then on the wifeās QX also.
they have performed very well in wet, dry, snow, slush, and ice.
they donāt seem to be a full on MT but are more aggressive than an AT. They are mountain snowflake rated.
You'd know, you get more snow that the Rockies and the rest of Canada! God I miss Quebec! The food, the skiing, and fun in the snow.Sort of Maritime Madness I guess!!!
And youāre right about trying and testing a lot with the Jeepās transfer case, lockers, traction and stability control, etc. Itās also essential learning how to play between Neutral and Drive and even Handle Brake to go from 2H to 4H to 4L then back, in motion or not.You'd know, you get more snow that the Rockies and the rest of Canada!

I hope the OP (Dan) knows I was just teasing. NB is a great place.
Wasn't sure either, so I Googled it....I'll be darned. I haven't had that issue, but the whole time people are mentioning about disabling TC, I am thinking 'Don't we WANT traction to be controlled? I know I would like that, it sounds like a good thing!'
I couldn't ask of course, or people would know I was stoopit and didn't know about these magics. I'll keep reading, maybe someone will explain more about this. (Who knew?)
That could be the solution. I have a Rubicon and a Sahara and the Rubicon is also a beast in snow or mud (yes we get both here in AZ). The Sahara not so much. A big difference the factory lockers make, now more one wheel spinning in the front and the opposite spinning in the rearNo sure, but we had between 30-50cm of snow here today and My Rubicon was a tank in the snow.

I read (possibly somewhere in this thread) that the gladiatorās weight distribution didnāt leave the rear light in weight.I'm surprised just how sure footed my gladiator feels in the snow. I expected it to be fine in 4wd and typical squirrely in 2wd. But it's surprisingly good in 2wd also
Also, my Overland has TraAs for traction, I just throw it in 4-hi if there is enough snow on the road to have the wheels slip and I drive safely.
Personally, I donāt change my traction control or tire pressure and have no trouble gripping.
What does happen during actual snowfall is the LED headlights and fog lights get covered and nighttime visibility drops.
I am half-considering some amber cube lights, but Iām not sure if the typical a-pillar cowl mount would actually give me decent visibility in snowfall driving.
Iāve also heard of people putting rain-x or Aquapel on their headlights to reduce slush buildup.
Anyone else done anything to improve nighttime snow driving visibility?
Also, my Overland is equipped with trac-lok. In terms of snow driving on pavement, Iām sure it must kick in occasionally, though I am not aware of it.As for traction, I just throw it in 4-hi if there is enough snow on the road to have the wheels slip and I drive safely.
