Did I Make A Mistake?

[Mdozier]

Don't discount the value of shift on the fly transfer case. It's easier to go into 4H when needed.

Enjoy the forum. There's lots of good info and feedback here. Ignore the A-holes.

Yes, use this sites search and you only will have about 8500 posts that have nothing to do with the topic you desire to sift through. In the future ask away, just like you did. The overwhelming majority will try and provide you an answer or opinion.

I actually find it’s more reliable to search on Google for the topic and just add “bronco6g” to the search phrase.

Curious when the OBX lost 4A? My ‘22 has it.

 

[Area51BS]

To be truthful, you did make a mistake.

2024 (not sure if it was Job 1 or Job 2), but a 2024 OBX Sasquatch still has 4A.

That must be it, I have a Squatch.

Unimog axles and 42's will correct all mistakes.

Yes for city/highway driving 4A helps a lot especially when going around a bend that’s part ice/part dry. Putting on snow tires may help if you don’t trade up.

Uh, OBX comes standard with snow rated treads (Bridgestone Duellers)

Nothing wrong with driving in rwd only in snow as that used to be all we had.

Sure having 4A is better than not but seriously do not use sand mode on ice or snow.

I have always had 4WD trucks and SUV's. When I got married my wife had never drove one in the snow or rain etc. Trucks (F150's) act different than the Explorers we had. When ever I bought a new one of either I would take her to a parking lot when it snowed and let her play. Yes trying to slide it around etc. The newer 4wd trucks and SUV's drive a lot different then the older ones the new traction controls ABS etc. They don't slide around as much until you turn off all the nanny stuff. As stated before the first snow find an empty parking lot play around in 2wd and 4wd turn on TC and ABS etc you will get used to it fast and have a lot of fun doing it.

For convenience's sake, here's the Iowa 4A thread:

https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/4a-necessary-for-iowa.97899/

If you're thinking of snow tires or ATs or something, scroll far down the Forums page to "Buyers Market," and poke around. You might find a pair or set of suitable tires for a good price. Failing that, you'll find all sorts of gear and options people are selling to relieve you of your money!

Join the New England club. There will be a drive up the Ma Bell trail this weekend in Northampton, pm @JeepsR4kids. Sasquatch is advisable, but if you're careful and bring a spotter along, you can do it with a lower lift and 4L->4H.
And if you're in or near Boston, pm me; we can meet for coffee or a brew or sandwich or something.

Now, maybe a stupid question, but for the general audience: My Badlands doesn't have "Sport," but it can be added with Forscan (I haven't--I run heavy, and Sport would strain the engine.) Any possibility that Pkdawg could have 4A added with Forscan? That would fix things!

@Beachbum (Lancaster, PA) reported on the Iowa 4A thread that he added 4A with Forscan.

There--that solves the problem! (But do read the Iowa 4A thread.)

You can’t add 4A with forscan if you have the part time transfer case.
And if you have the advanced transfer case, you already have 4A

I'm not knowledgeble on this, am only reporting what @Beachbum posted.
Maybe if you answered his post or pm'd him...?

I did. Just wanted to clear it up on here also.
