We have an auto tranny, open diff, 2" lift, disco's and 33s on a Sahara.
While in 4H your traction control plays with the brakes and other things to try to make the power go to the wheels that are not slipping. When you go into 4L the traction control is off but now you have completely different low gearing to help get you through.
On dry soil or even a little slick I will vary... if it's a trail that may even be a little slick I'll keep it in 4H. If we start crawling on rocks I'll put it in 4L.
The question is when it's really slick on the trail and the rocks. Been raining here for 4 days and we will hit Uwharie National Forest on Sunday and I expect the trails will be a mess and it's clay based soil. Which is the better option to get over those obstacles.
And before you start saying "A Rubi is the best option" or "Lockers are the best option"... yeah I know that and lockers are in the future. I need an answer for the way we are set up now.
