Spinning the wheels!

**isuzurover** · 10th November 2010, 07:14 PM

Question: Can a 4BD1T do chirpies on bitument?

Background: There has been some discussion on this in the past.
e.g. - Dougal says his can, Matt says unless you have all 3 diffs locked then just one wheel will spin - giving a "false positive".

Since we had the first rain in what feels like 5 years today, I thought I would do an experiment.

Apparatus:
4BD1+T
1/2 worn 255/85-16 Maxxis Bighorns
1.21:1 T-case
2x ARB air lockers

Method:
Parked on a slight slope (5-10%) in 1st gear high with CDL locked and both diff locks engaged.

Result:
Slight chirpies possible. Nothing more.

Discussion:
Over to you guys?

Replicates:
????

Err, yes. I have serious front wheel spin issues on ANY uphill corner even at a moderate throttle. With the CDL in and 1st gear I can just chip it, the Detroit biting in very well.

Must be a rangie thing

I never have such issues - unless pushing really hard. I do get oversteer if I head into corners too quickly though.

It might have something to do with my chronic body roll

and the sudden weight transfer OFF the front inside wheel....

Anyone who wants to spin the wheels in an Isuzu county. Should be

1 displaying his P plates
2 have his bit of motoring excellence confiscated ( and given to me where it will be lavished with love)

3 put in a cell with big bubba, preferably during a full moon

4 I was going to say. be forced to drive some rice burner like a CRX but then they would probably like that.

JCs wheelspin issue could be a Rangie thing. Even though not an Isuzu, my Rangie will spin the inside front wheel going around corners. I am thinking a front trutrac might tame it.
