Agile Off-road test of traction with roller test gear- no traction control????

[pmatusov]

Out of curiosity, can you have a limited slip differential AND a locker on an axle?

Plenty of examples, including LSD + locker in the center diff.

So, when you lock everything up, it's good- but it appears that there is little to no electronic traction control. Zip. Nada.

In standard high or even in high with center lock, with a single tire on each axle spinning, it won't go.

So this means to me that at least in something like snow/ice, it isn't going to be great. Get slow, and lock things up, sure, good. But I think I'm going to leave it in the garage tomorrow for the drive up I70 to Vail, and the nod goes to the JKL.

Working as a proper 4x4 should.

Just came back from a trip from San Diego to Copper Mountain and back, including I-70 between Vail and Denver, U.S.550 from Durango to Montrose, U.S.50 from Montrose to Buena Vista, U.S.285 from CO 470 to U.S.160, you name it.
The Grenadier never once felt loose-footed, including ice going up side roads and fresh snow on pavement.

I found it dozens of times that full-time differentiated 4WD works wonders on slippery roads. In an old Disco 1, where the front is much lighter than the rear, a center diff lock helped - no difference with the Grenadier.

Were you driving with the center did open in the grenadier, or locked?

Thanks in advance!

Open. Never had to lock it on this trip, even when climbing snowed-in, iced-over, neighborhood streets.
