You don’t want to go down slippery long steep hills in the wrong gears. Low gear less brakes.
My Toyota was awesome wheeling. $7000 new I didn’t feel so bad beating it up. But today’s truck prices I’m pretty much not hard core anymore.

Thats a SICK vintage shot, the 80s style with the 22r is a Hawaii staple.

You are correct. 1986 Very reliable 22R.

I will use 4A in the rain on paved roads, prefer not to get into 4H unless situation really calls for it. Good tires will help as well.

I respectfully disagree. 4Lo is actually very useful for a variety of situations outside rock crawling, particularly loose, rocky terrain.

Really anytime you need power but want to move slow, 4Lo helps greatly to get precise control over your vehicle. You can do this in 4Hi but it will stress your rear end gearing more, as it's working harder to transfer torque. By switching to 4Lo you gain tons of low-end torque, lots of engine braking control and general relief on your rear end.

Sorry in advance, but I could not resist.
We all love relief in our rear end!
