Nope, just the trail itself is clay more often than not. It gets wet, you've got a mix between snot and ice. And once wet our rocks have zip for traction too. Or sometimes if they're too dry and covered in clay dust. Shit's like talcum powder fucked moondust and made a hate child.
I am just messing with you. I know what you meant. My little 1.5L honda engine, in the right gear like you mentioned, is powerful enough to get the 37s spin fast enough, let alone 2.0/3.6.

I do NOT miss the traction issues from back east at all lol. Even with the snow and wet dirt (cant really call it mud like the SE) this past weekend I never felt a tire slip once like back in NC.

One of its kind offroad crawling machine and we here talking about which engine is better to drive on the road. No wonder its still selling like hot cakes after 8 model years.

I cant tell you which one is better, nor do I care that much, cause I don't think there is much.. All I know is when I crawl with my Wrangler, I only use maybe 1/10 of the throttle input and it is, often times, too much. I need more traction, not horse power or torque.

After every challenging obstacle, we often talk about one made it/didnt make was because suspension, tires, wheelbase, clearance, etc.. Never have I heard... oh he made it because his Jeep has 2.0 Turbo/he didnt make it and had to pull a line because his Jeep has 3.6...

There's nothing like getting halfway across that muddy field, start to lose momentum and feel the tires start that little sink and spin.
Just hope to hell you can back up out of it

LOL, that's always the right thing to do and never my 1st choice back in the day. GIVE......IT......MORE.....SKINNY!!!!!!! I had a Bronco II with a body lift on 33s and it usually made it, just skimming along, but not always.

So the very first time I ever put a Jeep in four wheel drive was when I took my XJ on its first voyage to the outer banks. No airing down, just off the street, slow a little, pull the lever, off we go. I can tell you that with enough throttle you can absolutely bury a Dana 30 deep enough in the sand that it's over top the pumpkin.

Air down? What's that? I edited that last one.
