Re: ~~~ Say hello to my little friend!!! ~~~
LOL!
Sure different than the VW eh?
So when you get high centered with one wheel in the air, you can bang
hard on the brake pedal which will stop the tire in the air from
spinning and transfer the torque to the tire on the ground. It works
great, especially on ice.
I have had guys going for straps when they see me stuck on ice with one
front and one rear tire spinning, then I hit the brakes a couple times
and bingo 4 rooster tails and away I go.
My CJ7 owners manual even mentions you can use the emergency brake to
load up the spinning wheel and transfer the traction, but that way has
never worked for me.

Re: ~~~ Say hello to my little friend!!! ~~~
They used to sell split e-brake handles for VWs. Dual levers with handles
going off in opposite directions, sort of Y shaped when viewed from the top.
Each lever would be cabled to the rear wheel on it's side of the car. I
would think this could be a helpful rig on jeeps with open diffs or LSDs,
too.
Travis, did you ever see these?

Re: ~~~ Say hello to my little friend!!! ~~~
They used to sell split e-brake handles for VWs. Dual levers with handles
going off in opposite directions, sort of Y shaped when viewed from the top.
Each lever would be cabled to the rear wheel on it's side of the car. I
would think this could be a helpful rig on jeeps with open diffs or LSDs,
too.
Travis, did you ever see these?

Only in the magazines, never in person. I think they called them
"steering brakes" or something to that effect. They were intended
more to help you steer in the sand by braking on one rear tire at a
time than to compensate for a non-fully-locking diff. At least that
was my take on it. I never got into the sand dune stuff. I stuck
with mud/rocks/hills. :-)
