Jason, It's nice to see you filming out in the swamps!

[@Jason-Samko]

My second home....other than late at night on dealer lots😂

[@roadkingrider6532]

Love your videos Jason. 🤙🏻

[@Jason-Samko]

@roadkingrider6532 thank you. Love hearing that

[@Wolfman-df4nt]

Funny. This morning I watched your Traction Control video with the Tacoma.

[@Jason-Samko]

Toyota has amazing traction control too!

[@ronaldbarnes8302]

Appreciate the informative videos. Modern traction/ stability control is really amazing for most circumstances. Thanks for the video,

[@Jason-Samko]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jimmulderig743]

Nice

[@noniespam]

Very good demo, do you have any frozen lakes down there to play on? (Just kidding) we have 16” of ice on inland lakes.

[@Jason-Samko]

@@noniespam i miss donuts on the lake and ice fishing

[@a990dna]

I always thought the engineers should have the traction control switch with the light on as "ON" not "OFF"... conversely turn it OFF, the light goes off, and traction control is OFF. 😂

[@Jason-Samko]

makes perfect sense to do it the way you are describing.

[@traebishop3846]

I leave mine on all the time for the most part. The only time I don't is in ice believe it or not. I haven't had my F-250 in ice yet, but with my old F-150 it would cause you to do nothing but spin even in four wheel drive. It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen, and it was an issue it had from when I bought it brand new.

[@Jason-Samko]

All my f150s ran pretty "lose" as well. Meaning you got alot of wheel spin even with traction control on. But loved the system

[@ronhaynes1532]

Great demonstration! Thanks, for sharing that. Much appreciated. 👍🏻🛻

[@johnkraft5640]

Do you have a tazer JL TO LOCK THE REAR LOCKER IN 2WD?

[@Jason-Samko]

@johnkraft5640 yes. Let's me use the rear in 2, 4h, and 4l. Let's me use the front in 4h and 4l

[@Mike___Kilo]

Dude. You should run a Jeep driving school.

[@cuco_gaming]

might be a dumb question, can you safely stay in 4h for daily driving (any negatives or positives in doing so) ? is it recommended to stay in 2h for general roads ?

[@BrooksLorenson]

No no no please do not do this unless you are going in a straight line on dry pavement lol

[@taylorwashington2270]

4H is meant for being off pavement. He’s using it here in snow where there’s enough wheel slip I guess. In general don’t use it on pavement as there is too much binding.

[@Jason-Samko]

@cuco_gaming never a dumb question! And the 2 comments below are correct. Here is a simple rule of 4 wheel drive. Only use it on slippy surfaces. The wheels have to be able to spin at different speeds when you turn. When you engage 4 high those front wheels can not spin at different speeds. So the axles will bind and need slippery surfaces to be able to slide free to unbind.

[@cuco_gaming]

@@Jason-Samko thank you! to add to this, my 4xe rubicon has a 4auto mode. i am assuming this might be the same of different then 4h/4l and if so how ?

[@Jason-Samko]

@cuco_gaming 4 auto is an amazing feature! Use it when you have mix of dry and slick roads. Basically you can put it in 4 auto before winter and leave it there (however on days where it's all ice or all snow covered i prefer 4 high). 4 auto is a "mild 4 wheel drive with only a little power going to the front and when it sense a wheel slip it puts more power to the front for more 4 wheel drive use. Bit when you are on all dry pavement it limits the amount of power to the from so it acts like 2wd. Brilliant system and your best friend in winter

[@REDNECKROOTS]

I cant see a use for traction control. Ive always turned it off whenever i have a hard time getting in somewhere, after it off i always get into ware im going

[@Mike___Kilo]

You're not Jason.
