Jeff,

Are you trying to get me killed?

Ok so I am going to take the Jeep! Plus I am going to be in the mountains and the low range will be very helpful on those icy roads that lead up and down to the cabin Im staying in!

I will be getting it aligned, changing the oil, I changed the transfer case, transmission, and differential oil last week. I will also be flushing out the coolant so that I can make sure that I have the proper ratio to prevent freezing. Anything else you guys could suggest?

I wouldnt put it in low range going up an icy road. low range gives you tons more torque. the last thing you want on an icy road it more power that can make the wheels start spinning. I would just leave it in 4 high and put the shifter in 2nd. so even when your stopped it will start out in second. When it is really icy up here sometimes I have to start out in 2nd becasue 1st just breaks the wheels free and then once you start spinning out its hard to get traction again.

Im saying low range because it isn't a road... it is dirt road lol

Oh haha I see. Though you did say that low range would be helpful for the icy roads that lead up and down to the cabin. So you can see why I would assume. And regaurdless, I used to take my pathfinder out off roading all the time. low range was almost never even needed. Im sure with the amount of power the jeep has you wont even need low range. Good luck with the trip!

Did you will me your car?

Have a safe trip

Yeah, you won't need 4 low unless you find yourself in a situation where you need all the torque. I did a lot of off roading in my early days, hardly ever did I need 4 low. And don't use 4x4 on dry surfaces either.

I use 4 low even when it isn't needed!

Lol I only use it on this hill that is down hill to get to the cabin and then up hill to leave.

On the down hill the low helps slow the jeep, and on the up hill it helps get it their! In the summer this road isn't even passable if you have a car or a 2wd!
