and you give into that? C'mon, man use your noggin... THEY'LL be the one's to have the awesome wipeout's... and if you're driving slow and responsible in the snow, you get to watch free entertainment!!!
45 should be the max, but as stated by some, you can certainly shift into 4wd at 85... don't even have to worry about damage done to the transfer case internals or anything!
That was sarcasm

im callin bull**** Kyle, im 19 and that makes me invincible alone, throw 4wd into the mix with a front locker on the ice/snow... damn im UNSTOPPABLE!!!!
/sarcasm
god all these threads are retarded... im going to call every last person a dumbass who believes they need 4wd going above 45, if that fast on snow.
if your in a desert truck, or your playing on the dunes SURE go ahead use 4wd... but if your on ice/snow its not gonna help at 75+ if you go sideways, i'll argue that any day all day
as my dad said "there is no driving on ice 4wd or not"
unless u have like rally studded tires imo, then it would be tricky and i still wouldnt go anything above 45.
but if yall wanna go kill yourselves, or go wreck because u thought u could go 80 in the snow, GO RIGHT AHEAD but NONE of us want to hear about the tree you hit

The only thing you need 4WD for is getting going. Its not going to help prevent you from spinnign out of control or avoiding that stopped car infront of you. I have never needed to use 4WD on a freeway because they are normally much clearer then the side streets and highways.
And have you hear of the MN meet?

Now granted we have yet to get any snow here, so I have no need for 4wd. BTW who else has NOT had snow this winter?
hey, dont bash the OHV, mines been through hell and it keeps pumpin'!!!
and i have to baby my truck to get it goin, then i can get the tires free at 30 NO problem. (haven't tired any faster)
