Since winter has now hit, what is considered 'too fast' for 4H?

 

You should check out the Cherokee transfer case forks post. It goes
over the speeds in a lot of detail.

Basically you can shift on the fly into and out of 4 high at any legal
speed according to my owners manuals.

I figure whatever speeds the transport trucks are driving in the snow is
the max for a 'safe' speed 'if and only if you have winter tires' so I
pace them.

When I had fat 10.5's on my CJ7 any speed over 45 mph or so in snow was
suicide due to lack of steering control, so you have to really watch the
tires you have.

Figure a 4x4 can't stop you any faster than a 2 also. (good reasons in
the other thread)

4HI can be used at any safe speed. Of course, a critical part of safe speed
is safe stopping. 4WD will not assist in any way with safe stopping.

You did not tell us which model you have, but if your 4WD is intended for
Part Time Use Only, then you should only use 4HI when the tires can slip on
the road surface to relieve stress that can damage the tcase. Rain is not a
good reason to use 4HI.

Out here in Kalifornia we have the "Basic Speed Law" which supposed
to apply common sense to the idiot that won't slow down for traffic and
weather conditions:
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/hdbk/pgs6...adjustingspeed So if you
drive 45 MPH in a 55 MPH zone and it's raining, you will get a ticket.
