Not likely... You can only run about 30 mph MAX in OD, 4-LO...
25 mph is more realistic.

Wuss :) My first time in the dirt out at Jon's, I got the revs up to
the
mid-5000 range in 4LO (do the math on what the speedo read - I didn't
check, but the numbers suggest 70MPH if it upshifted) trying to get up
one
mud-slicked hill.
