Stock? Maybe on ice and snow... and definately not power braking it.

funny story about that is, one day when i was about 14 or 15 i was with a group of my friends one kid was throwing snowballs at some cars passing through the neighborhood on guy stopped and chased us off we all ran and hopped some fences but my younger brother and one other kid were pretty fat and couldn't hop the fence, so the guy cornered them two (both 12yr olds) and i watched him punch one right in the face i couldn't tell if it was my brother or not so i came out from the yard i was in in chased the car on foot when he got caught in the traffic he was trying to go around i told him to get out of the car (he had to be closing in on 35yrs old) we started arguing and he walked up and slapped me right in the face, kinda took away my dignity ya know, well i dropped him right there in the middle of the street 4 or 5 hits he went down, his wife got out the car and started crying and yelling so i stopped and walked away

turns out he didn't hit my little brother...........


moral of the story I Will not stop if a kid throws a snowball at me I don't want whats coming to me

Hate to be so blunt... but you have no clue what you're talking about.

holding the brakes to hold the car still so you can spin tires doesn't work if all tires are spinning.

i have to agree with donnie if you are spinning all 4 of your tire you have have your jeep on jack stands, cinder block or a could people pushing on the front of it ... and believe it or not when your in 4hi all of you tires are suppose to be spinning.

the only exception is if you have a dually and there still not in 4hi they just have 4 tires in the back

I like my renix, almost more than my girlfriends 96.
The computer is not "reset" every time you turn it off. Just the information that was not put into KAM or "Permanent" memory is not stored. This is information like "soft" codes, etc. Any "hard" codes (failures lasting more than 2 seconds) are kept in memory after the key is turned off. The fuel map is stored and so are other vehicle information.
There are no CELs since its PRE-obd and everything can be tested with a multimeter and some time.
The renix takes a few seconds to start, it has more parameters that need to be met before it will fire, unlike the newer models. Overall, it is a very simple and robust system..

power breaking isn't really anything. you can power break bicycle, remember that video of the guy on his mountain bike smoking the tires? cool is just stomping it and lighting up the tires. the two wheel drive 6 cylinder guys should be able to do it at will. especially you chrysler guys, your motors are built for lighting the tires up from a stop. my wife's 2x4 95 4.0 embarrassed lots of street racers, i loved it.

You're not getting it bro... It's not physically possible to have the brakes hold the car still yet spin all the tires. Has nothing to do with *****. Brakes STOP the wheel from turning. Power braking works in two wheel drive because the front brakes are stronger than the rears... so when you push the brake half way down it holds the front tires still making it easier to break the back ones loose. if they're turning, the brakes aren't holding them still are they? You couldn't do this with a 2000 hp engine by power braking. well, maybe that much horsepower would just rip the brakes off and spin em anyway... lol
