Re: highway speed in full time 4X4?
55-75+ mph should be no problem in your Libby.

This is probably because the manual mistakenly assumes something
resembling self-preservation instincts on the part of the driver.
A full time 4wd can be left engaged at any speed, as it has the
slippage needed. HOWEVER this does not mean it is anything
less than insanely reckless, homicidal, and suicidal to actually
drive at high speeds under degraded weather conditions.
A full time 4x4 doesn't disengage at any speed. That is a part
time 4x4 mode which should never be used on a highway unless it
is extremely slippery...enough to keep the driveline from binding
up. And if the highway is slippery enough to need part time
4x4, 55 mph is insane.
