i had one before my arb. It was fine in the snow as long as i drove like i hade a lockright. Youust have to make sure you are paying attention on the road and not go flooring it all the time.
Good point! --- Once a Lock Right has been installed, you first have to learn its quirks, and then always take them into account... no matter what the road conditions might be.
In snow - while I know that M/Ts donÆt help matters any - so far I've learned that very careful and prudent throttle modulation is the key. --- The same tendency that it has toward locking-up when youÆre getting heavy on the throttle in normal conditions is multiplied 1000-fold once thereÆs no real traction (ie: light or packed snow, etc.) --- Therefore, you have to make a conscious effort to apply the throttle
very gently (particularly when shifting between gears on a manual - in turns - and/or on steeply crowned roads) --- IÆve also noticed that being in 4-wheel-drive greatly improves things - as opposed to being stubborn, and keeping it in 2-wheel-drive until you ôneedö 4-wheel-driveà That extra bit of pull from the front provides a great deal more directional stability and confidence, especially on steep/curvy roads.
From what IÆve
heard à Once the stuff gets good and deep (especially in virgin snow), itÆs a whole`nuther ball game - And I hope to confirm this, very soon! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
