See...there you go again. Assuming and looking foolish. You are starting to look really bad claiming to know what people you don't know do with their vehicles?

This is actually getting comical now...please, continue......


P.s. I still dislike the DT'S snow traction

Oh no...you've lost it completely. Please, have someone go back and help you read everything and point out your misquotes. Ask them what context means and how it was used throughout this thread.

You'll be better for it I promise.

Here in central California we don't have to worry about snow and hell for the last couple of years we haven't had to worry about rain or mud for that matter either.

I lived in Vegas for 4 years and was able to enjoy that too....except for summers which were crazy hot.

I'm at a loss on this one. The only reason I can fathom that my long term comparison differs from your test is that my last JK was very heavy and possibly made a difference in traction more noticeable between my MTs and my DuraTracs.

Also, I have to wonder if the fact that all 3 of the JKs tested were improperly geared is requiring more pressure on the accelerator to get moving and thus contributing to all the tires breaking loose equally.

Both 08's have 3:73's. ..not sure on the 07.

I would bet weight is a huge factor. I know my diesel pickup reacted differently with the mtrk's than this Jeep did no doubt. You have a great point... If a heavy jk with steel bumpers, 37" spare , armor and some junk in the trunk can squat the suspension it's surely putting down weight on the rear like sandbagging a pick-up.

Lets keep this on track guys. No sense in getting into pointless banter, doesn't take the discussion anywhere besides the circus or deletion.

I should note my JK is pretty heavy as well, front/rear full bumpers, armour, 4x 4g fuel, 37's, carrier, etc... find it sticks on the road when slippery quite a bit better but its the devil traversing muskeg. Basically like extra sand bags
