Thanks for this, I did not realize. I thought the TC and ABS was disabled as soon as cdl engaged..

 

No, only on the 03, if converted and the 04.
Have fun with your new toy.

 

I had planned to get it sorted out and ready for a trip to Toroweap, and all worked out aside from the fact I ran out of time and didn't manage to get the heater core swapped out before the trip, so I didn't venture out as far as planned in case the weather got really nasty (happens fast in the Az strip). I did manage to do the honeymoon trail and spend a fair amount of time in the Warner Valley and Hurricane dunes.

I've already handed over the Red rover to my girl and begun to build up a 92 RRC for all out off-road use. So the Red Rover becomes the diaper wagon (quite capable one at that) and the old Range Rover LSE becomes the adventure mobile.

 

So when my cdl is engaged my TC is disabled? Because when I was in mud my TC light was coming on and it was making noises as if it was engaging.

 

No, it is still engaged.
Read the "finish the job" section of this:
Ashcroft Transmissions - Disco II Diff lock

 

I've owned my disco 2 for just over a year. I've done a lot of wheeling, rocking crawling, mud etc.
I used only the TC for the first few trips out and it worked very well. THe only problem was it sometimes took a second to engage.
I finally got around to activating my CDL this past summer, mostly because my three amigos kept going off and it happened once on the trail which really sucked.
With the CDL engaged it was WAY WAY better then the TC. And then when the TC kicked in with the CDL engaged...wow, the D2 was unstoppable. Very very impressed.
I would strongly recommend the CDL activation mainly because the three amigos are so fickle and can pop up anytime...anywhere.

 

I have an 04 so the article doesn't really apply to me, or am I mistaken?

 

04s are the only ones that already have CDL, no need to worry yourself!

 

heres a good cdl video for ya... dont think he had traction control at any time though

 

No I know that, that's why I looked for an 04. But I was just making sure that my TC also stays on with cdl
