Big difference for sand and mud with the QD2. Yours will lock the axles with wheel spin obviously you know that but the QT2 will only allow so much wheel spin before it steps in to correct the problem in any setting and we all know how bad that can be if your bogging threw the loose stuff. That's why some guys just pull the ABS fuse someone even put a switch on there ABS fuse to kill it when they wanted.
ESP in full off (whatever long press gets you..) adjusts how quickly the traction control kicks in right?
Is it not enough for mud/sand when it's deep before your brakes start kicking?
I got into a bunch of mud last weekend and just turned the ESP off, seemed to allow enough wheel spin to clean out the luggs on the mud terrains. With 10,000 people and 1,000 trucks if I'm stuck I wont be there long. The trails are really tight and hilly so I will use 4 lo for them, let the engine do the breaking and try not to slide into the trees. It will be interesting to say the least. I'll get plenty of pics and hopefully won't break too much. Never had a vehicle with a computer involved, I am sure I will miss my Detriot Locker

It's usually enough for a lot of situations. But if your in real deep stuff and need those wheels to spinning to keep you going pulling the fuse is probably needed. It's something you need to figure out for your self I don't play in mud so I don't know. I do spend a lot of time in deep soft sand but my tires grip like there on concrete so I've never needed even 4LO in the stuff where everyone else was getting stuck. LOLOriginally Posted by hoaxci5

First off, I suck at actually taking pictures, and it was soo muddy we all stayed in the jeep to keep from trashing the inside. We were the only Commander that we saw, and did all of the river trails, which are a lot harder than they looked because of the narrow openings between trees and abundant mud. My little brother follow us around in his ZJ and we pulled him out after every stuck. We finnaly got to a crazy hill climb and a bunch of guys with Wranglers and Heavily modified XJ's were hanging out watching. They started laughing as we pulled up and said "akk the real Jeeps made it, why dont you try" We drove right up it with almost no wheel spin. We saw them later and there was no laughing then. Weird thing to mention as well, once there was mud packed under the whole body, we had major tire rubbing issues. Besides that and the endless cleaning, it was awesome!

The best part about wheeling a Commander is making Wrangler owners jaws drop.
Mud is so much fun and so much work.
