@brandoncheney225 true. Though currently since covid happened alot of the companies that made mods for the renegade have closed and with the renegade being discontinued for the compass, finding the avid bumpers, skid plates, and proper lift mods to allow bigger tires has become next to impossible. :( still love my solar yellow renegade tho.

It's the same , mechanically: engine and transmission (as the 2.4 renegade). Exact same Transmission , ratios etc. I think the renegade winds up with 21:1 (instead of 20:1) probably because of smaller wheel diameter but that's a little pedantic to mention. Your diesel probably has more torque than my Cherokee. When were both in first gear , you will pull harder. When I'm in 4 low, I'll pull more than 2.5 times harder. I can climb anything basically without 4 low- same gears you have in that case. It's just not as controlled. 20:1 is still a lot of power. But my low-low is 56:1. The wheel torque produced is greater than the wheel torque that a 5.7 V8 Toyota tundra makes in 4 high. It's considerably higher. 56 is an insane multiplier.

Sadly, the clutch system isn't as robust like a proper mechanic transfer case, and the Renegade have 2 sets of clutches: one at the output of the transmission and one at the input of the rear differential. Basically, when you're in normal driving condition, the Jeep disconnect the clutches from both the transmission output and the differential, and when you activate the 4x4 lock, those 2 sets of clutches get engaged, coupling the drive shaft and the rear differential to the transmission.
