Re: Drives in general

If you factor in mobility, pushing power, and drivability, I would go with 6wd. You get great traction, you don't need to worry about turning, and unlike a crab drive, the difficulty that a driver would experience is minimal. It's also easy enough to accomplish a 6wd with pretty much all kit and IFI parts.

The downside to 6wd is the weight of added chain and wheels.
