oops i misspelled the last post it's supposed to say the floors in my jeep is preety bad cuz they are rotted like crazy

 

I like to spend most of my time sideways in the snow. Until my wife slaps me that is.

 

im still not use to drifting my jeep i had a 4 banging 2wd 5speed ranger now that was fun when i kept the *** end behind me cant wait to find trails and ****

 

If the 4x4 is on, and you downshift, the engine will slow you with all 4 wheels. works awesome on some of the crazy PA hills.

Of course if you downshift too far, you will slide with all 4 wheels

 

Me to till I get the slap

 

Sorta.

But you can accomplish the same thing with the brakes, as they too slow all 4 wheels.

What I was saying is that when in 4wd it takes the exact same distance to stop as it would with 2wd. You don't increase the stopping ability of the truck as you are still at the mercy of your tires and the traction they get.

In the end, because you can quickly let off and on(pumping them), using your actual brakes is going to be more effecient than your suggestion. You can simulate ABS in a way.

What you are doing on the hills is slowing your speed without locking the tires. That is where the benifit is while engine braking.

All it takes, though, is to shift your momentum in a direction you don't want to go, and its all over.

 

light on the brakes. and only use them when your wheel is straight. turn with your slid. dont jab the gas. dont jerk the wheel. and stay atleast 10 below posted mph.

 

Thats good advice.

Too bad I don't listen to it!

I love driving in the snow, I look forward to it.

And you can bet your **** I try my best impression of rallye drivers, too!

 

My wife just told me she got a groupon for the Dale Jarrett racing adventure, in my email. You may want to take a look at it it only lasts till tonight.

 

Do they do alot of snow driving during that racing adventure?

 

it helps alot if youve got abs. sure wish that i did

 

I hate ABS and am glad I don't have it.

I'd like my brakes to do what I ask them to do, not what the dumb ABS computer thinks they should do.

Look up the thread on weather people like ABS or not. Its even a poll.

You may find it interesting.

ABS just makes things worse.

 

Agreed. The only ABS I need is my right foot.

 

Hooray, this guy resurrected an old thread with spam. One post wonder. Moron.

 

Aw, come on, this thread is just as old as you are!
