So I towed my buddys wrangler out of a mud puddle but I was usin 4Lo and I start hearin this grinding sound/ screeching sound not horrible sound but still concerned and I also use 4lo when I go wheelin should I not use 4lo or what I need help thanks guys!

 

Use 4 low only when needed. Recovering stuck vehicles, crawling over rocks, needing to move really, really slowly.

I use 4hi when wheeling most of the time.

Its just a really low gear, and isn't always needed.

 

I always use 4low wheeling. Make sure you only put it in low at a stop in neutral it'll make a grinding noice if not

 

I guess it depends on what kind of wheeling your doing.

I don't see many using 4low in large mud holes...

 

I like to stay in 2wd until 4wd is needed, makes it more challenging and fun. Nothing like climbing over a inbankment, playing in the mud, then coming out still in 2 dig

 

HA!!

Your not wheelin til you NEED 4wd!!




Everything else is just a nice ride in the park!!

 

And a good way to get stuck too.

 

^^TRUE DAT!

 

as a trail guide, i always encourage everyone to refrain from 2wd as it only promotes wheel spin, prematurely eroding the trail. use 4hi on level 1 and 2 trails and shift into 4 lo when it gets rough.
on level 3 and up, stay in 4lo.

also, don't forget to air down, you will be smoother and swifter off road. street pressure will make you and the rest all slow down.

 

Thank u so much you guys I app the help..
