Post by: johnjx on February 20, 2008, 07:10:07 PM

okay so i know its bad when u drive in 4wd on dry pavement. what about sand and loose dirt? is it okay as long as ur using the 4wd not just for more power on roads or trails that dont required it?

Using 4wd on dry pavement is only bad when you are making turns cause everything is binding up. Thats why it seems hard to turn with in four wheel drive. As for any other surface you can run no problem. As long as you are not trying to jam it in 4 wd while the rear wheels are spinning and the fronts aren't you should have not real problems
