Default Re: 4 wheel in the snow

In 4H lock the t-case is locked and power is split 50/50 front and rear.

The slippage you feel is probably due the tires breaking traction when turning etc. The front wheels take a differnt path than the rear (different distances).

makes sense. If go in 4 hi lock the front tires break traction cause they cant spin faster than the rear. So it kicks the back out or pushes the front out. Its way more stable in 4 wheel no locks around turns. As far as going straigh i cant tell the differense. I supose it would be different if it was a lot of snow though.
