What fraser says makes sense. I was thinking the transfer case was locked which wouldn't work.

So if one front and one rear tire were on ice and the other two were on good grip, the pre...

Here is my understanding of the pre-xdrive 4wd system.

Pre xDrive X's have a relatively primitive 4wd System, I think its almost the same as my old explorer. There are also early (2000 or 2001)...
