LSD Equipped Gladiators Better Than Rubicon in Snow ?

I had to comment on the post it was incorrect.

Did you read all of the posts?
The truth was already covered 2 years ago.

Copied from another forum:

"The steps must be followed in the exact order for it to work:

1 put transfer case to 4H part time, let vehicle roll a short distance for it to truly engage
2 press OFFROAD + button to enable offroad+ mode, (Track control became OFF)
3 press and HOLD the ESP button for 10 seconds (a message on dash saying the ESC is completely OFF )
4 press the rear axle lock, it should engage. once enable, the locker remains engaged "

If it doesn't work, go get a software update.

I get it, but locking the diff with those high driveshaft rpms seems like an easy way to break something.

Sometimes. You need high wheel speed for the tires to self clean in the mud.

I can rotate them plenty fast in 4low.

What???? You mean you don't restrict RPM to below 3,000? Wow!

And what I find is I sometimes need more momentum also it is sometimes needed as much as the cleaning out of the tires.

I admittedly see less mud than snow. But in snow, I usually have pretty good luck getting unstuck with 4low.

With a Tazer, you can lock both lockers in 4Hi. I ran around in 4Hi most of the day Saturday. I used the lockers several times. Usually I did remember to shift into 4Lo but there were a couple of times I didn't.

I've had a problem twice when plowing - the snow was so deep and the push so long that snow was coming up over the plow. By the time I got to the top of the drive it was just too high and way too heavy to push any farther - but the snow had come up over the top of the plow and dropped down behind it. I couldn't go forward and with the plow full lift, it was catching on the snow that had built up (this little truck can shove a massive amount of weight up a hill - totally AMAZING Jeep). Took some back and forth but got it worked out of the little problem ok.
I've decided when it's coming over the top, to the hood, etc. - even if it CAN push more - I shouldn't. LSD, no lockers but quite capable as it sits.

Me either I'm talking 4k plus in high side , 3 or 4th gear. When I say wheels pin. I mean wheel spin

All Gas & no brake.
