Diff Lock Simplified: Center, Rear, Front Explained :)
Zed replied to Zed's topic in Off-Road Club's Discussions
@Benjamin thanks, I think I'll write about bigger tires effects next time, seems that's a popular mod 😁 -
@Josh S ah Jeep and its marketing terms compounded by seasoned individuals who advise without explaining technicalities. You have the Rock-Trac Transfer Case with 5 positions and the confusion is 4WD Hi Auto vs 4WD Hi Part Time. The Part Time moniker is Jeep's tongue-in-cheek way of saying "use this part of the time". Why? 4WD High Auto for non-Jeeps is the same like driving the default Patrol and Land Cruiser: it means turn all 4-wheels at same time, otherwise known by non-Jeeps as Full-Time 4WD. There are no 2WD in Patrol and Land Cruiser so we just casually wait and watch Instagram everytime a Jeeper says "enganging 2WD" 😂 4WD High Part-Time is the same in non-Jeeps as Turn-All-4-Wheels + Lock the Center Diff. This splits the torque front diff 50% and rear diff 50% and all 4 wheels move at the same rotational speed. Rally drivers use 4WD + Center Diff Lock when in long straight track as it gives more traction to push the car forward. They turn off when making sharp turns or many zig-zag turns. You just triggered something that was buried in my memory. After my rollover, I noticed my Center Diff Lock light was on, and this was a mistake. The theory of turning wheels and the invention of differential is to allow front wheels to turn at slower speed than rear wheels, thus making a smooth turn. When you lock the Center Diff, the front wheels turn at the same speed as rear, so when you turn with Center Diff locked you will be DRIFTING. Now imagine me turning 90° with diff lock on to steer down the car during a high-speed side-sloping at 8psi... yeah I don't think you'd do that as I'm a proof of what happens when you do that 😂 People who drive with Center Diff Lock on don't realize this or downplay this theory because their current sand is so soft that the stress of turning wheels at the same speed get "burned" by the sand / cool drifting. But ONCE they got the hard sand and turn 90°, it's the same as turning with Center Diff locked on asphalt. You can do this at home: turn 4WD + Part Time in your parking area and try turning 90° left-right. That effect will be the same when your sand changes from soft to hard sand. To understand more about Differential, I implore you to read my article below, young padawan 😅

@PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke The ARB orange ones are good especially if you get them during the offers seasons (Adihex, Black Friday, End of Year, Ramadan) and available locally by visiting shops so you can try them. But Black is Cooler, I got the Warn Winch Gloves below 😊 Just search on Amazon for "WARN Winching Gloves"

@Sreenath G that's a powerful combo: the XTerra uses the same VQ40 engine as Y62 V6 + the 6-speed manual has 1st Gear Ratio of 4.37, higher than Land Cruiser and Rubicon's 4.1 first gear, so means on 4H 1st Gear you already have lots of torque to move the wheels (good for climbing tall dunes). Looking forward to see this beast on the sand when we're in the same convoy 👍 Reference for X-Terra Technical Specs

@Dare_to_Dream One thing couple of members including me have noticed is: Do Not Trust Garage Instagram Accounts 😂 cc @Wade Pat2 @Chris Wing . Use the 3 methods below: 1. Use Google Maps, type Musaffah so it centers from there. Then search nearby for "Car Modification", it should bring some decent results. 2. One-by-one, read the reviews (you can even translate the Arabic reviews sometimes they give more valuable insights). 3. Once you have narrowed it down to Top 5, find their Instagram accounts and check their Project Photos. Those that are closer to what you want to build with your concept car will make it easy during building (i.e. you can tell them "I want modification just like the one you did here on Insta.."). Yes I know I've said not to trust their Insta accounts, so eventually you have to use your "Spider-Sense" to gauge whether a workshop is full of marketing people instead of mechanics, welders, denters, electricians 😁

Occam's Razor Principle: sometimes the simplest could be the answer 😁 I'm putting the "How to test your Horn Device is working using Normal Car Battery" link below (skip to minute 1:39) so others next time can do this test first before checking the yellow clock spring in steering wheel 🙂
