The only problem with the 07 and older traction control is that is isnt all speed. You actually have to be moving a little for it to kick in. More than once i have had to back up and get a little run at an obstacle to keep the system working, if you come to a stop it usually wont reengage. The 08 and newer have all speed which works better for the weekend wheeler. On my 07 pushing the esp button does not completely shut the system off, it makes it much less sensitive , you have to get really sideways for it to kick in.

I know when I got my KJ I figured it would get stuck alot. I thought it would be a mall crawler. After a few trails stock I was proven wrong :JEEPIN:

Would it / should it kick in if you were spining two wheels but the other wheels were going backwards down the hill? just curious how it should work.

I would think so, the sensor doesnt know which direction it is turning, just that it is turning.
