Yes, it all makes a lot more sense now.
The thread was not ever meant to be an attack at XJ's at all.
Due to my misinterpretation of classification of what makes a 4x4 such.
And I was really unfamiliar with the Jeeps transfer/center Diff etc...
Total novice!
Think I made that pretty clear!
But got totally confused with the post about "put it part time, and do a sharp turn on a hard surface..etc .."
To me at that point, due to my lack of knowledge....
Was describing symptoms of a diff lock engaged. And I couldn't understand how this could be happening with open diffs.
Never entered my head of two axles being locked up!
And I didn't understand the difference really between the selections..
But understand how a diff lock works.
Well I certainly understand it all a bit better now.
I only ever use it in low range, as where I take it is very steep , up or down.
Crawling pace....95%
I don't thrash it but.
I did have to go on YouTube to find out more about the running gear on XJ's.
And that link I posted for YouTube explained the running gear well.
As I wasn't really understanding the posts, and no one really explained the difference between "partime/fulltime"
Annoying I didn't know, because I would of often used fulltime on a lot of marble gravel roads.
