How fast can you go and what happens if you go too fast? Like coming off a trail onto a fire road and not taking it out of 4LO. Damage the transfer case at all by going too fast???

if you're going 30MPH, you should have it in High... you shouldn't need low for going that fast...

Pretty much just depends on your RPMs, your engine won't let you go too fast, and if you want your engine to last don't wind it up too high. Obviously you shouldn't use it on dry pavement (or any pavement really).

With the AW4, third gear in 4 LO is about the same ratio as first gear in HI. So I would assume you could do about 40-45 mph. (nearing the redline) So a cruising speed would be about 20-25.

I never go above 10mph in 4lo in any vehicle that I drive.

Redline is still redline. Just don't go past it.

What's the point in wanting to go fast in low range anyway?

I never go over 15.
It takes 2 seconds to shift to 4 hi, so do it.

Rev-Limiter in Overdrive. How ever fast that is. When I need to go faster I slow down, shift in to High and repeat.

Well I say its the max speed I go because I do that on the roads inbatween trails occasionally...and dont feel like holding the group back to switch out of low.

Its a PITA to stop and shift out of 4low for those periods on the trail where you dont need 4low, only to need it a couple seconds later.
I usually dont go over 2k rpms in 3rd gear. Seems to be about 15mph, but I also have a 4:1.

Consult an owner's manual, it specifies it in there. If it's the same as my TJ (same xfer case), I believe the top speed for 4LO was around 45mph.
Can anybody confirm from an owner's manual?

wow... that's a lot faster than I'd want to take it... just seems like it would but un-due strain and wear on 4-lo.... I just opt for keeping the speed down when in low range. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong, but that's my thoughts...

all I gotta say is lauching at the dragstrip in 4 lo is awsome. just let up after the first 60 feet and people think you're making so much power that you broke something.
