Flatbutt, I've never heard of 4X4 CAUSING a flip over on ANY type of surface. Now can it make someone with a less than optimal grasp of physics ten feet tall and bullet proof? I've seen that many times, and it never really ends well.

Not all AWD behave this way. It wasn't until the late 1980's when Gleason introduced the torque sensing differential which put power to the wheel with the most friction.
