You won't get Ford to make a van 4wheel drive, they will send it off, and Quigley wont even think about converting anything other than brand new vans. 5,000 miles on a 2012, Sorry can't do.

Here is a local Ford dealers website promoting 4x4 vans.

I've seen newer 4x4's run in four on pavement with no problems. Not for 100's of miles, but 5-10 miles. I'm just saying it CAN be done without major issues, contrary to what others have posted.
Like I said before(one more time) I wouldn't do it!
Unless you had a locker in the differential, it should not have done that. You had bigger problems. Did you maybe have big tires? How many miles on the Jeep? Did you buy it new? Was it abused, like a lot of Jeeps are?
On ice nothing would have been binding so again, you had other problems unless you left it in 4wheel 24/7.
But still, since the discussion was about t-cases, not differentials, and your T-case did not explode, your story has little to no bearing on the subject.

My Quigley has manual hubs and a manual shift transfer case. In the winter, I leave the hubs locked and run in 2wd and shift to 4wd as needed. In 85K miles, I've had to replace the half shaft universals once.

Who gives a crap about trucks and transfercases, this is a bike thread

but the original intent was to slap a windshield or window on an offending "cage".

Really bad idea, I can just imagine the biker trying to flee from the roid raged cager he just managed to piss off.

As for that vegas video... what was that biker trying to accomplish anyways, the car drivers pushes him twice or thrice and the biker doesnt do squat, he literally almost lands on his ass from the first push. I guess thats part of the "trying to act like a tough biker"- thing and he ultimately fails when the car driver decides to brake check him, guess that whip in his hand caused him to fail braking.

Who gives a fuck about hubs, 4x4 anything on a MOTORCYCLE forum in a MOTORCYCLE thread?!

I've got a 4x4 Jeep, I'm not on the dragon thread spouting off about it, take this shit elsewhere. it's more annoying than the ABS and perfect line arguments, but at least those have relevance!

Don't you fret none Spagthorpe. whips have covered many an accident free mile...

Personally if the neighborhood is that bad I'd rather run with this type of setup.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you ride a Harley?

When you get to the rubber part, and have ground the frame, then it is plenty. Those are merely scuffed a bit.

What a retard that guy is... I don't get it, when cage drivers fuck with me, I always go for operation GTFO no matter what the situation. Even a motorcycling n00b on a KE100 can lose a car in city traffic without trying very hard. Why stick around to get run over?

Yes, that was a good one. I gotta clean my screen.

[opaque_machete]

That was one stupid cruiser rider. Even when I'm at my worst I'm not stupid enough to take on a pissed off dude in a cage. Not that he deserved being hurt or hit and run, but he kinda deserved the smack down. What an idiot!

As for the whips, I guess when they can always be ready for "other" uses, you know. But they are still a bad idea due to where they are attached. Not smart at all. You guys keep talking about the clutch, what about the one attached to the brake on the other side? Can you say, DUH?

What oil are you running in it?

Couple thoughts...

1. Touch me, it's game on. I'm gonna' hurt you. The reason is I have no idea what you plan to do after the touch. I'm taking control at that point, not wondering about what you plan for me.

2. The dude on the bike was an idiot for riding that close behind the pissed off cager - he set himself up for the fall.

3. That said, if I didn't hurt you at number 1, I'm definitely going to after number 2.
