This actually explains a lot of what I’ve been feeling when climbing or on side slopes , thanks @Pranjal Varsani1 4H part-time for the next drive it is. what were the engineers think calling it 4H part-time ?

@Pranjal Varsani1 thank you , yes you are correct I have the transfer case with 5 positions. I usually use 4H and Off-road+ on I have used 4H part-time ( which appears it should really be called full time) on occasion that has worked during refusals and stucks before going to 4L, I’ll try 4H part time on the next drive to see how different it feels. here’s Jeeps video on the system

This was a great drive, we covered a lot of ground, varied terrain, the Sand is finally drying out from the rains a few weeks ago and the lack of moisture, amazing to see the amount of vegetation this has brought. I'm starting to like the convoy switcheroo; experiencing different positions on a single drive leads to new experiences that would normally take many drives. Being near the front at times is like being on a whole different drive. That bowl into a ridge ride was an experience. Key items for me, when going for ridge riding, probably due to the long wheelbase, I need a higher angle then to get that first wheel over the crest. Near the end of the drive, I managed to have a crest situation while crossing over, the front of the Sandrunner was nose down, parallel to the bottom on the dune, with a rear wheel freestylin, @Karthik Raptor was about to get the rope, but I could feel some traction in the front tires. I dropped to 4 low, rear diff on, gentle pulse of gas and left right steering and it was free. Speaking of 4Low I must speak to my Jeep friends here, it also seems to take long to get in and out of 4L, not to mention when coming our of 4low traction control must be turned back off.. The sequence I use is Drive Selector 4H->4Part-Time>Neutral then Transmission N, then Drive Selector 4L and reversed for the other way round. Looking forward to the next drive, I have posted some images in the gallery.

Ready to roll @Varun Mehndiratta

That filled up fast, got pulled into a teams meeting and next I know it’s 10 past 7 and I’m frantically clicking reload to add to the waitlist ..
