I just bought a 4wd Jeep for the winter. Should I use 4hi for the heavy snow? Our biggest snow storm usually gets us 3-4 feet. What about the slushy/nasty stuff?

4hi

Use four low for going slow and getting Un stuck! And for just driving around use four high.. When I got my jeep I hadn't driven a 4x4 in a couple years forgot about what rear wheel drive did! I was turning left at a busy intersection in the core I had lots of time to make the turn but you know when you slide around a corner and you have that sort of hang time till your rear end catches up to you? Crap that almost gave me a heart attack!!! And I was like oh yeah I used to think this stuff was fun!! Ha ha still do nothing like driving side ways down your street!

Its been a while since Ive been in 4wd too. I watched videos of XJ's in the snow and they seemed to do well. Are they a capable snow storm vehicle with the 4wd/bigger all terrain tires?

if you don't drive in the snow often go to a parking lot (empty) and do some donuts. lean how your rig is going to handle/spin out/slip at what speed and what range of turning. plus it's fun as H E double hockey sticks

Yes.

Your right... U should have bought a front wheel drive jeep?!?!

Specialy if your going 130+ miles per hour!

Lol

:lol:

Before you even comment on other peoples comments you should read the post first, he was in snow not dry pavement.

How well do these cherokees do in snow? I've driven fwd and rwd in the snow belt of ohio. How often are you guys putting it in 4hi?

HA!

They do great, esp with good tires.

Situation dictates use of 4wd in my eyes.

they are good but it also depends on knowing what you are doing and how but who am I to say nothing really goes on out here so im going to shut up now

Snow is a blast. I look forward to it every year.

Last winter we had two snowstorms in a week, back to back, and they couldn't keep up with plowing the roads so I just left mine in 4wd the whole week, that was some s**ty milage (below 10mpg, and my rig was stock then).
