Out of 4wd Hard
I was on the road the other day and decided to shift my 2000 TJ into 4hi at
around 50mph since I haven't used it really since last winter (been a busy
year). Well it went in ok but out was hard. So I tried it acouple more time
and same thing. What is she trying to tell me? I put 31x10.5 on last dec.
with 3.07 gears. but haven't really been in 4wd much since. Could the
tire/gear combo cause this?

Re: Out of 4wd Hard
If you were doing it on pavement it may have something to do with your axles
binding a little. There is nothing built into your transfer case to relieve
the pressure that can be caused by your axles turning at slightly different
speeds. Try doing the same test on a gravel road.

Re: Out of 4wd Hard
She's trying to tell you to read your owners manual! You should never shift
into 4wd on non-slippery surfaces (like pavement)! You'll break stuff! In
addition to that, 50 mph is around the upper limit the transfer case could
handle. It's a bit surprising you didn't grenade something.

Your linkage is out in the open under there and likely is full of dirt
or in bad need of a grease job.

Re: Out of 4wd Hard
I should hope 50 wasn't the top end for a shift.
I shift in and out of 4 high at 60+ mph all the time in both of my Jeeps
in the winter.
And 'both' of my owners manuals say to shift into 4x4 once per month on
a straight road to keep everything lubed up and working right.
