You have a t/case that you can lock up and you have ETC so when your CDL is engaged, the ETC can then power back and forth from the left side to the right side of each diff as needed.

Wow so I thought thats what my 03 disco did? So mine will and can transfer all the power to just the rear or front becouse I dont have CDL?

YOur ETC works on all four wheels, but with the CDL, it doesn't have to think between front and rear. It would only have to work at 2 wheels, vs 3 wheels without CDL.

I agree totally with the last 2 posts.
For the 03, the good news is that that year had an updated ETC over the earlier models and performs much better off road.

And I would agree w/ the last 3 I was skeptical being a previousjeep owner, had upgraded axles, diffs and air-lockers w/ 2 inch lift. I thought that thing was invincible. Just to test the ETC on my '04 I sat it in about 6-8 inches of mud, took it out of low gear and disengaged the CDL. ETC made it's usual pops and buzzes and she climbed right out. Since then I'm a believer.

Why, I do all the time, here in Colorado, help alot.

Other wise, locking the CDL is designed to give you alot more traction in snow, mud,sand, and off the road.
Go for it.
When are you free to meet up Mike?
You want to go play in the snow??
Heck yea. Let's see how long it takes me to get stuck. Supposed to be 70* tomorrow and snow tomorrow night ;-)

I am free anytime Mike.

I use Thule 450 mounts with 50" crossbars. I can transfer it between my '03 and my wife's '06 outback. Rack goes on and off in less than 5 minutes, so I only put on when skiing so i don't lose anymore mpg's when driving around town. It was a no brainer for me since I've been using Thule for over 20 years.
And those Thule's fit around the big round OEM bars on the 2004 models? If so, then I will buy them tomorrow ;-)
Yup, perfectly. Make sure you get the "450 foot pack" That is the important part. The bars can be whatever length you want (as long as they are at least 50")
