Off road plus????

[Ratbert]

I've tried to use off road+ in 4 low many times. It makes the shift points much too aggressive for rock crawling.

I believe it does, however I can only speak clearly on 4H auto. I do use off road + while offroading in 4L but with the low gearing I don't think it is as noticeable.

Also, when it 4H auto when coming to a stop engine braking is more noticable.

Interesting. I don't actually use auto much. I prefer to manually control and it's a bit of a gas pig.

Do you have 4H auto? If I have it in 4H auto I notice my shift points are higher, shifts are quicker, and throttle response seems to be more responsive. That's on the road.

I do not, just regular 4hi and 4lo.

Has anyone done the rear locker in 4-Hi recently?
I try to do it periodically but the last time I tried several times but traction control would never go fully disabled.

I believe the steps are 2-Hi --> 4-Hi --> press offroad+ --> Hold traction control 5 seconds --> engage rear locker

Yea that’s the procedure and it works for me. Although I do t know if it’s hood for 5 seconds or longer as I just hold it till my dash tells me traction control is off.

With a Tazer Mini you can engage the rear locker and disconnect the sway bar in 2H.

I tried again yesterday and it worked. Thinking maybe it’s finicky if you’ve been in 4-hi for a while.

My 2024 4xe Willys is fast as fck in 4H auto with off road+ on

When I go into off road plus mode when In 4hi part time or 4 low, the engine constantly revs high. It doesn’t feel or sound like it’s a good thing to do. I’ve found it annoying and usually end up switching out of it when off road. Trying to understand its usefulness when off road, or if something is wrong.

It feels and sounds like a sport mode when pressed in 4hi auto on road.

It is an off road sport mode for desert and dunes.

Sand, my friend. Sand. That's where it's useful. In 4Hi with Offroad-plus engaged, the throttle response is super-high-strung, which is super useful climbing sand hills in deep soft sand. There's a sand obstacle on Poison Spider that kicked my ass the first time I saw it, when I didn't have offroad-plus. Then I went back in a different Jeep WITH it, and used it, and that hill was nothing. I utterly slayed it with those revs ripping, and it was glorious.

Thanks for mentioning that sand on Poison Spider. You made me realize that the first time I did it a couple years ago it was intimidating, but hell, I didn't even notice it the last two times (once in the backwards direction and once in the usual). Kind of weird. Maybe that's due to playing on the Oregon dunes so much?

OffRoad+ is supposed to reduce throttle response in 4lo, right? In my JLURD it seems to increase it exactly like in 4hi.

Off road + is for quicker throttle response in both 4Hi and 4Lo.

 

[azjl#3]

so button should say "offroad sand"?

Pretty sure this button is direct response to Bronco offroad selection knob choices.

That's not how I read the manual. Why would you want quicker throttle response in 4lo?

4L
 Engine/Transmission Calibration: Rock Crawl and controllability focus, change in shifting schedule when rock crawling, pedal calibration shifted to de-gain and low range, operates at lower vehicle speeds

 Traction Control: Aggressive brake lock differential tuning at slower speed or FIRST gear

 Off Road+: Recall the last status between ignition cycles

4H
 Engine/Transmission Calibration: Improved sand performance/wheel slip focus, change in shift schedule for sport mode, pedal calibration set to aggressive, operates at elevated vehicle speeds

 Traction Control: High wheel speed, slip tuning brake lock differential with no engine management

 Electronic Stability Control: ESC Off with unlimited speed

 Off Road+: Will default to OFF between ignition cycles
