    Default 4 Low

    i was just wondering...has anyone ever tryed racing with 4 low with a suv?

    your top speed is about 90 kmh but you get to that EVERY FAST...i just tried it out with my dads jeep grand cherokee 4.7l and i think i can take on a camaro

    you all prob think i am crazy but 4 low is ammazing

    I'm sure 90KPH in Low 4 does wonders for the diff
    Not something I'd be trying in my 4x4 thats for sure. Have owned 4x4s for about 10 years now, and have probably only used low 4 three times in that time.

    Be careful, or someones gonna have a not so happy daddio!

    It might be impressive, I don't know, but have you ever felt a launch from an AWD 340hp+ car? Maybe you should take it to the track and see what kind of 60ft times you can get before you start challenging sports cars. If you can get to 60ft in under 1.9sec, a jeep might just be the ultimate stoplight machine. That would be cool.

    assuming that ur diff doesn't give out on you, i believe that camaro's have way over 90KMPH trap speeds, even if u beat it off the line u wont make it to the end of the track faster than the camaro..

    lol, thats stupid...4 low... did you read the manual before you tried it?

    most SUV's its like this..

    4 low is only ment to be used in first gear, not ment for normal driving in any condition... its ment for pulling, or getting out of something for small distances...

    You'd probably get a couple of good launches before the transfer case blew into a million pieces. They tell you not to use four low on dry pavement for a reason.
    Drag racing is for fast cars. Solo 2 is for fast drivers.

    ive been using 4low for launches many times since,nothing feels different,i dont think it would be allowed to hit 90 kmh if it were to wreck, it would have a governor orr sotin, also i have a few friends who told me they do it all the time, nothing seems to have happened, anyways i have a 5 year warranty so i dont care.

    The sad thing is he'll get his dad to claim that the diff wrecked while using 4LO in the right places and he'll get a replacement...
