Maybe that was me that drove by you.I agree 110%. I se that all the time here in Maine. On Icy snow covered roads I get passed by people doing 70 /80 mph :O and have seen them in the ditch later :O , Drive for the conditions and get there in one piece
I'll remember that to go slow when I run the baja 1,000 again. But then I would lose for sure. I don't mind coming in the middle of the pack, and I could care less if I break something or someone. Cops never bothered me in the dirt.going high rate of speeds on snow/ice/mud etc , whether in 4wd or not ,is stupid and down right foolish. best case, you go in the ditch and only hurt yourself. worst case , you go in oncoming cars and hurt some law abiding hard working person just trying to get home.
when you shift to 4hi at high speeds the electro clutch engages the tcase chain, front driveshaft and ring/pinion and goes from zero to what ever speed your doing , in a instant. over time im sure its hard on parts. open the owners manual sometime and get learned up. i think it says 55mph top engagement speed. yes im sure it will engage at higher speeds but thats alot of mass to go from 0mph to 70mph instantly.
now if you engage it at 55mph or below, and just want to know how much faster you can go before the tcase explodes, aparently grandmesa says your fine atleast 80mph
I've seen many vehicles in the ditches and on their tops in the mountains of Colorado with the idiots thinking their 4 X 4's were invincible. I hope the only ones killed are the drivers of these vehicles. It's these idiots that cause the massive traffic jams on our roads after their crashes.going high rate of speeds on snow/ice/mud etc , whether in 4wd or not ,is stupid and down right foolish. best case, you go in the ditch and only hurt yourself. worst case , you go in oncoming cars and hurt some law abiding hard working person just trying to get home.
