I haven’t found one on my axles…

yep, but it also needs to survive being drug and spun thru the mud. Thats the trickey part… i have the other parts worked out in my head, just not a wheel speed sensor that is surviveable…

Well if they are not designed for it, we are in trouble, as the stock A0 is capable of 6600LB of thrust per wheel at the tire, or 26,400lb of total pull from the tires… The vehicles themselves can weigh far more than 26,400lb, all supported by the exact same hardware exposed to driving...

Having had to do my share of extracting stuck vehicles, I have found I would prefer to not dig, roll around in the mud or crawl in or under vehicles mired in the muck. The problem with cribbing and jacking is it needs to remain perpendicular to the lines of force. Now simple is not always...

I have seen something similar used in search and rescue. The hard part might be pulling the stakes out when you are done…

I think the "bush-winch" methodology has a lot of potential for our vehicles as it also provides a type of traction control with the wheel that wants to slip putting more load on the winch line and transfering more drive torque to the wheel that is not slipping...

Force/energy tends to take the path of least resistance. There is less earth pressure/resistance above the disc center than below when pulling it horizontal, as the upper earth has only its weight/air to push against(its more fluid than solid). So the soil on top will push upward, and provide...

The problem with jacking is it can take a pretty large sole plate(several sq/ft) to keep the jack from sinking/provide any meaningfull lift. Then there is getting to a suitable jack point while the truck is belly deep, same with chaining up a buried axle...

The problem with a disc, is connecting to the center WITHOUT a rigid lever arm, means that it will need to be buried completely with a channel down to the disc center. Even then that is no guarantee. since it can pivot where you attach to it, it may push up the soil above the pivot(path of...

And that is the question, how much pull do you need???

The anchor can be the hardest part... that is one reason it is best to not let it get too dug in before you figure out how to lock down the slipping wheel. The shallower the hole the lower the force required to pull your truck out...

The key, is to stop the spin before it digs in, which can happen very quickly. If you look at just about any pic of one of these stuck when stuck, one corner is way down(thats the tire that dug in in AWD), which raises the opposite corner, and allows the torque to escape from that axle Which...

No, too many other things I want to get done. Still need to figure out wheel speed Sensors…

Yea i don’t see the need for center diff interaction control with what I am envisioning, as it is on a per axle basis(controller for each axle). I envision it more like an on demand electronic locking diff, and when you would use it the center diff is probably already locked in mode. It would...

The secret of traction control is in NOT braking the wheel to a stop, only applying enough additional drag to the slipping wheel with a brake so that the diff thinks it has two wheels with traction and sends more torque to the wheel that actually has some. I do this with my tractor on occasion...
