Hmmm... I guess I forgot to mention that I use 4-LO to up, over, and THROUGH
things. If I go too fast it sets off the air-bags! Hehehehe.

Seriously though, I wouldn't recommend going the speed you indicated in 4-LO as
I don't think that's what they had in mind when they designed the system (read,
ya' gotta be close to frying it) and it seems to me that 4-HI would be the
better choice for anything over 10 mph. Just MHO and far be it for me to mush
anybody's 4-wheeling mellow! :-)

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.
