When you're heading up a hill like that and you're stuck - Meaning, you're in gear, the clutch is engaged and all 4 wheels are spinning but you ain't movin no mo' - try adding a little brake. It's a touch thing to keep from stalling, but there's guys who swear by it.
From the way I understand the concept, it creates resistance against the engine, which in turn provides more torque to the whee that does have traction, instea of the differential allowing the tire with the least resistance to keep spinning uselessly.
None of this applies to me, since I never get stuck.

I think someone was asking about a flooded road and water fording advice was given. I think they (and me) were talking about a 1/2 to 1 inch layer of water over the road in low lying areas after a summer thunder storm. I have areas around me where several roads get "washed out", but not necessarily "flooded" per se, with about and inch or so of excess rain runoff. I don't think I would need 4x4 during such situations, but could I use it without fear of binding?

I've read all the responses about 4WD + Snow & Ice. None have really answered a question in my head though.
I'm a student in upstate NY where months from let's say Oct-March is PURE snow. I have a 2dr JK and getting up the hills, out of the driveway, around town is a PITA. Can I have the truck in 4WD AND* make turns with 4WD enabled? I wasn't sure how it works... but in my understanding, I thought you can only go straight in 4WD, bc by turning, you're putting stress on the axle(s)? So is it safe to turn while in 4WD in the snow? ie: Going through backroads off campus where I live, where it's hilly and lots of quick turns + lots of snow...
Thanks for any advice.
