  3. A power divider is just th@

    it divides the power between the 2 drive axles

    :mellow:

    what we call cross locks

    locks the differential on each axle .... so with the Diff lock & cross locks engaged you make all 4 wheels constantly spinning

    and with cross locks engaged u tend to go straight a head on corners

    If U run out of traction  with no locks engaged  .... u get one wheel spinning

    engage inter axle differential and you get 1 wheel spinning on each axle

    engage the X locks you get all 4 wheels spinning and may be sum movement in the right direction

    101 HOUSEHOLD USES FOR VEGEMITE

    Vegemite has been in the news this week as the iconic Aussie brand came back to Aussie ownership. Hardly surprising really - it's no secret the rest of the world thinks we're fucking retarded for our love of Vegemite. We get it though - it has a distinctive [read: unappealing] odour, taste and colour that anyone not brought up eating every day for breakfast cannot wrap their head around. Thankfully, for all of you who are culinarily bankrupt, Vegemite is actually so much more than just a tasty condiment. According to the below list it's a must have household cleaning product. No doubt there's a few interesting ideas contained within and it may just work amazingly well but I can't get away from the fact everything you cleaned with it is just going to stink like Vegemite...

    CLEANING:
    1. Naturally disinfect all surfaces (mix 1 part Vegemite with 1 part water in a spray bottle)
    2. Scrub stuck on stains (make a paste with Vegemite and baking soda and scrub with a sponge)
    3. Clean your dishwasher (put 1 cup into the bottom of the dishwasher and run it with no dishes inside)
    4. In place of rinse aid, fill the dishwasher liquid holder on your dishwasher with Vegemite instead)
    5. Clean out your coffee maker (pour 2 c. Vegemite and 1 c. water into the coffee maker and run a full brew cycle. Remove and replace the filter and run 2 cycles of just water)

    9. Keep sponges and kitchen rags fresh by soaking in Vegemite water overnight. (rinse them before using again)
