I live and Kuwait and am always around sand dunes.. My guess its a safety feature once lockers are engaged for protection (high rpms)i tried going up a dune in 4h but when i started losing momentum the car started "modulating" the power, it started to shudder, stutter, shake and came to a stop, this is the first time i take my jl on sand, i shifted it into 4low and it started in 2nd, i applied some throttle but the power was being cut, i floored the gas pedal and the same it dug bit by bit and then suddenly the rpm spiked and i dug my tire half way.
so i tried to take this vid on a small incline with soft sand to explain what i was facing, this is in 4low 2nd gear, front and rear difs locked and half throttle, i didnt move my foot at all but if u can hear the car was modulating the rpms as if traction control or something was still on.
No need to engage lockers on a flat sand surface, that way with them not engaged rpms will shoot till redline. I tend to used lockers once fully stuck to crawl my way out and not power it out if it makes sense..
Just my thoughts
