Superchargers and Offroading

Thanks and common sense seems to be the standard as usual. I was hoping someone would state the sc is beneficial when blowing through a mud hole but that appears to be asking for sure death......

Definatly will help in A mudhole when traction is low and wheel spin is needed. "Never say Whoa in A Mudhole"

Lot's of torque + sticky tires + steep slickrock + slight bounce = blown T-Case.

I know.

Thats A good situation to use the brake/throttle together, when the tire bounces the brakes will stop or slow wheel spin so that nothing gets shock loaded when the tire lands. Also you can build A toe clip for your throttle pedal for better foot control in bouncy situations.

I know also.

I was Brake Throttle Modulating (BTM). The rear just barely bounced, not OFF the ground, the tires were still in contact with the ground, small slip and BANG!

Ouch, that just sucks then.

Speaking from experience the supercharger will help keep those tires spinning even when the traction control is slowing the vehicle down.
It is when you get in those situations where you have all your weight on one wheel going straight up a rock (with the rear locked) that you begin to break things. Technique? yeah probably! Will use less throttle when trying to climb from now own. Being from a mud area, I am use to pressing the throttle when your momentum slows. Not a good idea on rock with great traction (1 transmission, 2 rear axles). All on rock.
