Since winter has now hit, what is considered 'too fast' for 4H?

You should check out the Cherokee transfer case forks post. It goesover the speeds in a lot of detail.Basically you can shift on the fly into and out of 4 high at any legalspeed according to my owners manuals.I figure whatever speeds the transport trucks are driving in the snow isthe max for a 'safe' speed 'if and only if you have winter tires' so Ipace them.When I had fat 10.5's on my CJ7 any speed over 45 mph or so in snow wassuicide due to lack of steering control, so you have to really watch thetires you have.Figure a 4x4 can't stop you any faster than a 2 also.

My "other" (non Jeep) 4wd machine decided to drop into 4wd-Lo at about 35 mph one day due to a faulty detent on the 4wd-hi/4wd-lo switch on the dash. What a crunching noise!!! I had to look in the rear view mirror to see if the transfer case was still in the vehicle and not laying on the road behind me.Mike Roma
