Title: Two important summer questions???
Post by: S.Sidekick on February 16, 2008, 11:48:25 PM: so my lil 4 door kicker is going to be towing my new jet skis this summer and i was wondering when on the boat ramp does it hurt to run 4 wheel low when unlocked in the front just to get sum more torque and pulling power? wut will happen?

and this is the big one, i wan2 run chopped doors this summer and need to know how to cut them cause i dont like seeing the door out lines, so does anyone have a cool way of fabbing sum cut rally doors?

thanx guys and gals

As the doors are concerned.... Do a search for "Half Doors". there are a few people that have made them and look good. A search should bring up the old posts.

ive heard that it could mess up the hubs, but im not really sure, the 4x4 instructions on the sun visor say not to do that and it also says not to do that in the factory manual as well....

You aren't going that far or that fast. If you forgot about it and drove off then I am sure that you would cause some damage. Other than that you should be fine.
