out in the dunes Ive ran 60mph in low range in my 91 a few times, it was fine.
also in my Tacoma when we go to bend to visit family, i run around 60mph in 4hi no problem.

Was that in 8th gear? Just ribbing ya. Never tried to go faster than 10-15 in 4lo.
4Hi is fine when there can be slippage and I would say freeway speed would be okay, but if you can go that fast, why use it? (ice snow dirt)
4Lo I've only used wheeling where slow slow is better and at the boat ramp.

when i lived in utah i was in 4hi most of the winter often cruising 65 on the freeway sometimes on dry pavement and although i wouldnt recomend dry pavement sometimes you have no choice. i never had any problems tho i did that for 2 winters

true, in my experience you can drive on the pavement in 4wheel drive with now problems, as long as you don't turn sharp.
although i wouldn't recommend it either

lol i wish i had an 8 spd lol..
in the dunes you pretty much have to use 4lo, sand puts allot of drag on the vehicle. i mean you can use 4hi but it sucks not enough power

What could get damaged by driving in 4hi on dry pavement? Isn't that why there is transfer cases and slip in the diffs? I'm new to 4x4 so I've been wondering how I can use it. Basically, I want to use it to drive 25 miles both ways to work and school in the winter on snowy icy highways in Minnesota. Will I be fine using it in the winter for highway driving on those not so nice days or should I only turn it on when I "really need it?"
