If it was front ot rear traction control and an an H2 gets high centered, were would the power go? As it is, a high centered H2 will spin one front and one rear (unless the rear has been locked), or at least I'm pretty sure that is what happens.....anybody?

I think you are right about traction control in general... but the transfer case is a viscuous coupling that will redirect power front to rear or vice versa depending on what it senses by itself. The traction control as I understand it directs power to left or right independently based on which wheel is slippings and which one isn't.
I know that one of these offroad heavy guys has the answer... we just have to wait for someone to pick up this thread.
