[color:"purple"]I just thought without any type of LSD when you spin on snow one tire will spin and that will keep you going straight. I know in the Explorer with the no-slip locker when it spins it always wants to go downhill.
I have to say in snow that isn't very deep like after they plow the street the Kia doesn't do well at all in 2-wheel drive. It feels like it's really light in the rear and heavy in front. This is really our first snow since last year we only got one good snow, but it was deep enough I used 4-wheel drive right out of the driveway. [/color]


Why not just shift back and forth between 2H and 4H on the fly as required? As long as your mechanical hubs are initially locked in with a movement from a stop in 4H you can do that. If you see a patch of snow...go into 4H, once past it, go back into 2H. As long as you don't back up in 2H your mechanical hubs will remain locked in.

BTW...Estes Park is a pretty town. Been there several times but not in the Winter.
