Good to hear. Were you in "off-road mode"? If so, then it is likely that off-road mode overrides the issue. I've never had an off-road vehicle with "modes" - I guess you can't get away from it anymore.
I was a pro driver on the US PTO2 tour; and this was both with and without off-road mode
Nice. Are you buying one?
Absolutely, been a reservation holder since 10/21
I’d rather be center than right or leftI believe the steering of this thread has returned to center, but let me just throw out a quick reminder we should avoid politics, religion, and if a hotdog is a sandwich.
Thank you for your understanding.

The torque multiplier for the steering box is quite high. Consequently, small changes make big differences.
I don't 2 foot drive in my Rubicon with its much lower crawl ratio and more instant throttle response and bitey brake. After driving the Grenadier I realize, with its much smoother input responses and 2.5 transfer case ratio (a higher ratio which I believe I'll prefer for overlanding), 2 foot driving will be a necessity.
Wow.
as I said, I am not 100% sure I believe it and I am almost sure I didn’t actually touch the brake. However whether or not it was me or some kind of spurious signal if that actually was what caused it, potentially it is speed dependent. Usually if you are two foot driving off road it is at low speeds and I was doing 114kph on the clock, 110 gps.
The ‘wonky’ boots apparently are intended to be fitted that way, or at least thats my memory of how it turned out; its somewhere in these threads…
The benefit of 2 foot driving isn't just for smoothness, but also because it effectively acts as a mechanical diff lock to limit wheel spin and send power to the traction wheel
I have very little experience driving an auto transmission, but we got a 4-Runner for my wife a couple of years ago (the first auto either of us has ever owned). We don't wheel that car very hard, and have never needed to two-foot drive. Our hardest wheeling was done in my 4-door Rubicon, which was on a 2-inch lift with 35s, re-geared to 4.56 in the axles. That also had the 4:1 transfer case, and it was a dream on steep rocky trails - which is most of the off-roading we do. Now I'm in a lifted Tacoma on 33s, and every time we get on the trails, I miss the Jeep - for its size, for the 35-inch tires, and for its transfer case.
Utlimate9 (formerly known as iDrive) do a throttle controller - you can pick different profiles. I have installed the EVC-X version (model 401 the BMW All Models option fits) - Adaptive Control is pretty good to counter this. (Ultimate9 is a bit too untamed to use) and Factory setting back to original is great for off road. Have yet to play fully with other modes (Eco, Anti-Slip, but there is a lock mode too to provide a measure of AntiTheft).
Well, since it wasn't addressed, I'll just say that Die Hard IS a Christmas movie!I believe the steering of this thread has returned to center, but let me just throw out a quick reminder we should avoid politics, religion, and if a hotdog is a sandwich.

Fight me. No, don't. Steer this thread back to the gearbox.
Can I vote for you??? lolWell, since it wasn't addressed, I'll just say that Die Hard IS a Christmas movie!
I'm test driving at Rusnak on Sunday - tell me what you want a picture of and I can get that.
There is nothing different on the dealer demo vehicles (steering wise) from the PTO2 vehicles everyone had a chance to drive earlier in the year.
