a random question??

Post by GotFlex »

if say you put big ass tyres on a 4x4 would it be ok to use 4low with the hubs on FREE to help take off
and when you are going chuck the transfer box into hi box?
Providing your truck has shift on the fly??

i think its fair to say that if you need to do this then a; your tyres are too big(yeah right ) or b; you need to do something to lower your gearing..

I dont think any transfer boxes have syncromesh to shift between Hi and Lo while your moving?

Sounds like your theoritical tyres are way to big :x :?
