    I run MTR's on my off road wheels and have not had this problem. I do not get any tire slip with them. I think this is not a tire issue. The MTR's grip as well as any other AT tire out there.

    well thats good news and bad news...one guy says ya and another says no....

    its really more right before it shifts when the power comes in a little stronger...

    however, i have also noticed it slipping a little when braking hard too...so im thinking that the wrangler mtr's are either stiff tires or lack of rubber contact on the road...

    thanks for the help guys

    Mine did this with the 33" MTR's pretty regularly. I just tried to get better at smooth starts until finally putting in the TOD disable switch/resistor mod. That also got rid of the drivetrain vibration caused by the 4" lift.

    You can also try lowering your pressure to get a little better grip, but that will affect milage some and wear the tires faster.

    think about what the TOD sees...

    IIRC it uses the ABS sensors to determine how much torque to shift to the front.

    if it's shifting back and forth then obviously it's either getting unreliable readings or your wheels really are slipping and getting THAT big a difference in speed.

    so I'm guessing either
    A. Your sensor(s) are dirty and the TOD is getting bad info from them
    B. Your tires are uneven in size or pressure creating the "illusion" of slippage to the TOD.
    or
    C. Your tires are really f-ing crappy and slipping all over the place
