A question for all you experienced wheelers:
When descending steep trails with sharp switchbacks, do you use 4-Lo to stay off the brake?
If yes, when you reach a switchback do you leave it in 4-Lo?
If yes, is the "whomp whomp whomp" jerk of the steering wheel and front axle normal and ok, and something you accept?
(If no, do you put it in 4-Hi or 2-Hi?)
I ask because I do say yes to all three of these but making tight turns in 4-Lo gives me pause as I worry I'm damaging something. Any thoughts and advice appreciated!
