Therefore if there is any slip, its not that big of a deal and still safe. You also know that unless you have a LOCKER in the front or rear diff, the tires will go at different speeds around turns regardless of whether you have 4wd engaged or your front hubs locked. They are the same as an open rear differential. "Locking" the hubs doesnt mean locking the diff itself, it just allows you to get the power from the transfer case to the wheels. You can argue all you want, but 4wd on an icy road is better than 2wd in same vehicle. FACT. Another fact is that is doesnt matter how many wheels you have spinnin, if they are spinnin they arent gripping and your in for trouble so you still gotta drive smart lol

What about bigger sweeping turns? Do you slow to a crawl?
Yes, the left and right wheels aren't locked together, but the front and rear are.
