Locked 2wd vs open 4wd

If I had 4wd and locked front & rears could I go further than

 

Take the rear drive shaft out of a 4X4 put it in 4WD with an open rear it will still go further then the 2WD it all about the weight on the drive wheels.

 

Blasphemy!

 

Yes! That think has poor ground clearance and is only 2wd from the looks of it

Probably. haha

 

If you look closely.. you can see jasmines legs inside the cab

 

Could I make the argument that the African swallow has a faster unladen airspeed than the European swallow?

 

Were you cutting donuts when this happened?

 

SoCal snowmobile

 

Absolutely, As proven by monty.

 

Nice! haha

 

Fixed.

 

/Thread right there!




And why do these threads always come up? No a locked 2wd is better than an open 4wd in no situations. Not only do you have drive wheels on both frot and rear axles but you also have the option to use 4lo, which gives you much more control

 

I can think of a couple situations, but a little speed would fix the problem for the open/open 4x4 easy enough. haha

 

Beat you to it on the first page only mine didn't embed itself for some reason...

 

Just because I like to write...

Levels of traction (IMO)

1) 2WD open diff
2) 2WD limited slip diff, with regulation (TRAC)
3) 2WD limited slip diff, no engine regulation (AUTO LSD)
4) 2WD locked diff
5) 4WD open diffs
6) 4WD limited slip diffs (TRAC)
7) 4WD A-TRAC (automatic 'locker-like' diffs)
8) 4WD A-TRAC with locking rear diff
9) 4WD front and rear locking diffs (NOT available from Toyota in North America)

 

Thanks guys, an about the video i think hes using a locked forward. And besides i understand that 4wd is better, but would you even try going off road with a 2wd locked?

 

I do it all the time

 

Yes its pretty fun.

 

You forgot 2wd with mechanical LSD
