4 wheeling is about testing and finding out what you machine and driver can do in the mountainous terrain. Copilots or handy to have when you cannot see over the passenger side of your vehicle.
-Not all 4x4s are true to the name. Some have limited slip witch is when one tire turns more then the other. To get the most out of your 4x4 you should porches diff lockers
-some vehicles you can engage 4WD by simply hitting a button and others you must jump out and lock the hubs. (If you have locking hubs lock them before you engage the vehicle in 4WD)
-once you leave pavement shift from 2WD into 4WD high
-Use 4WD low before you need to negotiate any really difficult off-road obstacles. (4WD low about doubles the torque (good for steep climbs, pushing a tree off the road etc)).
-if you have diff lockers never engage them on pavement
-TRACTION
is a resistance between tire and ground.
(Is the friction between rubber and ground combined with area of ground covered by the tire - FOOTPRINT combined with vehicle WEIGHT pressing a tire onto the ground)
-Torque is a (rotating) force that tends to rotate or turn things
-Horse power is the amount of time to spin the rotation or turn things
