Powertrax No-Slip Locker

Now I am definitely no where near as knowledgable on these 4wd systems as you guys are but after reading this thread as well as many others involving QTII and QDII; is there actually a trail and/or an obstacle on a trail that QDII can get through that QTII cannot? or does QDII just make it easier? It's hard to think QTII can't get to a level of offroading QDII can but I could be wrong

The reason I ask is because it seems many people want the QDII without questions. I am a newb to wheeling so I just simply do not know and would like too ;p

If your transfer case is working properly (cough, cough) a Commander with QT II will go down any trail that a QD II Commander will go down if they both have the same amount of lift and same tire brand. The QD II will just make it a little easier. If I recally correctly, I think I showed the QD II boys on that blue/black trail how capable the QT II is. Hell, I think I made it down the trail easier then they did. lol

lol Yeah you definitely proved the QTII even without a properly working TC. I just wanted to clarify. I suppose QTII w/ HEMI would be even better for all situations?

I would never get rid of my XK JUST for QDII but I also do not wheel as much as you guys........YET.

With QTII you notice slipage before you regain traction, which usualy results in a bunch of dirt being kicked up. With QDII or a locker you would just continue crawling without any slipping at all.
Heres an example, kinda far from the camera, but you can see what I mean.

I see your point but QDII especially with the HEMI wouldnt even breathe hard getting up that

Heres one more. I have to get used to the slipping a little more, if I would have stayed on the gas I would have continued to climb, but I tend to hit the break when I feel slipping for some reason in these videos. I've gotten over that a little more since I've gotten more used to my jeep.
On both of these obstacles only locked Jeeps made it up, open/open wranglers that were with me could not.

Great videos by the way!!!

I would have to agree to a certain point, as we saw at Whispering Pines, the QDII made it easier to get thru the same things your QTII did even less lift and A/T tires.. I also would say we dont really have much to say in comparison of whether the QTII cant do what QDII can cause we are limited to lift, tire clearance and lack of trails that we could really see both pushed to its limits or we just havent hit them yet... Id like to see a comparison done of some tough trails out west where the QDII is pushed hard and see if the QTII could keep up...

We might see things a little differently, but i kind of thought my XK handled a little better in the mud at whispering pines then yours did, mostly due to the tires though. You have all terrains and I have mud terrains. But keep in mind, both trips I was taking it extremely easy with the XK due to my transfer case issue. There were a few times you almost got stuck that I walked right through. And that Is why I love my MT/R's!!!

Dont get me wrong you werent struggling at all and have alot more experience than I do, but you even said on that a few spots the QDII did everything with out a problem, it was my tires that was holding me back, hell they turned to drag radials in the mud!!

[06JeepXKHEMI]

There was a hill climb, not the one my dad murdered but another one where you went up got out and watched me coming up and said damn QDII didnt even struggle up that with A/T tires, thats what I was referring to..
