Aren't you glad you drive a SUV/high riding vehicle?

I'd love to see the faces of those guys thinking we are freaks for lifting and putting big tires on our vehicle.

I have a question lang for the 4x4 gurus,
Can I shift to 4 low on flooded pavement?
kasi gusto lang mag regulate ng speed and minimize shifting, kasi we all know it's a no-no on dry pavement, how about sa wet pavement?
auto hub kasi yung sa akin not manual hub

non only high but with FRONT-DRIVE.
i love to see the worried faces of guys in LOWERED CARS.
parang ako nung college.

As long as you have a manual locking hub on your front diffs, its ok to shift to 4 LOW, in this form you are basically running 2wd low gear, this setting is ideal when towing on a hard pavement or there is strong water current resistance when running in water.

REMEMBER!!! ONLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE MANUAL LOCKING HUBS ON THIER VEHICLES

wolfpack, para sa hilux 4x4 pwede k ba i shift sa 4L kahit di na ako baba sa sasakyan para i adjust ang manual hub in flood water fording Iam not sure if i have a 2L

i sure am also,
4x4 pa nga ako kanina, one car got stuck (by the way sa pampanga ito, dami kasing ginagawang roads dito eh) i was about to pull him, but his rescue came, but he's blocking the way, casually shift my little shifter 4H and as they say "make your own road "

kimpoy, auto hub yung strada pag manual kailangan b talaga bumaba para i adjust yung hub sa harap?

it is not advisable to use 4L on auto equipped vehicles. even if you dont make a turn the differences in tire pressure, tire wear thus there will be differences in the height of the tire will still bring some binding in your drivetrain. even if the pavement is wet the tires will still grip the pavement. but if there is sand, rocks, mud on the pavement then it is ok because this will permit slipping of the tires.

yup aslong as you dont lock the manual hubs, gamit mo lang yung low range ng transfer case 2wd low lang bale good for more torque in towing and strong water resistance kung may traction pa ang rear drive mo. :D :D :D

sir 4x4 fan, yup auto hubs na yung strada ko, pero mas gusto manual hubs.(nakasira na ako ng auto hubs sa high peak)
kung manual hubs ka, ok naman i lagay sa lock yan hubs mo eh normal driving condition.
