The Deer and Sunfire referenced a change in velocity (i.e. deceleration),
not vehicle speed. Under 3 mph and a deer won't do that kind of damage to
the car.

I wear belts religiously, so that's a non-issue.

 

"ABS does not work with part time 4WD systems."

Not so. I had a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee with ABS and on rain-covered ice in
a parking lot one winter the ABS most definitely was operating in part-time
4wd. Maybe that's changed since, but IIRC my 2000 TJ FSM doesn't mention ABS
being disabled in part-time 4wd.

My Toyota Tacoma TRD has ABS and part time 4WD.

The truck also has a locker and LSD, which is another combo many
(outside of Jeepers) seem to think can't coexist on the same vehicle.
