traction control
just like what was posted ealier, the darn thing just will not spin the tires fast enough to keep the tires clean and that traction control cuts the engine power and won't let it rev above 3000 rpm. the esp/bas/traction control will not fully turn off. I spoke to the dealer about it and they said it isn't desighned to be turned fully off. this JK Rubicon is stout and has easily climbed anything i've thrown at it but a trail rated rig should handle the trail. now i'm not out there bogging but i like alittle mud now and again. it will crawl through mudd but if you need speed or get down and need wheel spin forget it

Just disable the ESP as stated by Doojer above. It isnt like the Jeep KNOWS you are off road. The only way it knows that is is you go into 4 lo and then it turns of the safety features for you.
