Search jeepcommander.com and you will find the write up. I found a wrecked QT II 3.7. L and used it as a donor vehicle.

What's always worked best for me is to just switch to low range when crawling. Works in the woods or on basalt rocks in the desert in this end of the country. It'll climb without disturbing the dirt for the most part. Unless you really want to fling dirt/rocks all over the place, just leave it ON. When the XK is teetering on two tires, (and that happens about every time I go wheeling) you want TCS and ESP running.
For sand, (And mud) then kill the ESP because you want POWER when you need it, and even bouncing over a few "whoop-dee-doos" at the bottom of most dunes will kill your throttle from the hard bouncing, so by the time to get to the beginning of the steep part of a dune, you're barely crawling and the gas pedal is "dead" when you need it the most. That and a dragging TCS brake while fighting gravity in the soft stuff is a bad plan. Holding the button down until "HAL 9000" gripes about it and lights up the dash, and you're ready for soft sand and/or dunes. Just don't roll it over on a hard turn, or snap an axle!

Since there are so many differences is the 4x4 systems per motor and various terrain id say try everything for your terrain and see which works best for you... you also have to figire in wheeling habbits

Had no idea discussions of QT1 to QTII were going on in here, lol. I thought it was just about traction control.
I've spent about 1.5 hrs picking through that thread, and I see useful info.. but it's spread ALL over the place. That thread is a casserole of chaos and gave me a headache. 07, Since it was successfully done. If you have a specific post, or maybe create a new posts, that lists all the essential components and requirements that would be huge. There are teams of QT1 drivers, and they would be at each others THROAT for this kind of information - especially if it's operational. Would be great to get a thread here that could trim off all the fat and simply address the whats needed, and the how-to.
