    You'll be fine. 4wd may not stop you from sliding but It sure as hell WILL help you recover from a mishap if you are sliding. I use 4wd all the time in heavy downpours at highway speeds 50-65 or so. been doing it for 80k miles now with no issues whatsoever. You'll be fine using it in slush, like mentioned earlier, just be careful when turning cause it will bind ( even then it's more of an annoyance than anything else) have fun! :)

    Its just sarcasm man.:rolleyes:

    Here is what was asked "oversized pair of crampons"


    Here is the title of the product I found for him"Oversized non-slip shoe covers crampons ice six nails rain shoe covers solid non-slip slide"


    All that was requested was OVERSIZED not actual real ones for climbing mt everest.

    So the fact that the are said oversized yet you can hardly find on the bottom of the chinaman's feet means they are really undersized.:rolleyes:

    And seeing how the original OP's question had already been answered and the thread was starting to get unthreaded so a little sarcasm was in order. So I am not sure why you are letting yourself get butthurt about it.:D

    Good day to ya mate.

    Yes, you can. I live in Alaska and road conditions can vary greatly. I drive 65 mph on highways that are clear with my 4WD on because a mile up the road it could be slick or I could get off an exit and it'll be snowy a slippery. Having the 4WD drive on during the winter only affects your fuel economy. According to the manual, you can do it up to 60mph, or something like that.

    I just keep mine on all winter so I don't have to think about it, but then again, it's Alaska.

    I drove into just that situation yesterday driving from Pennsylvania on the I-76 turnpike and then onto I-70 through Indianapolis and then back to Colorado.

    I ran in 4WD Hi from Harrisburg, PA to Indianapolis in 4WD Hi about 80% of the time (pretty bad storm yesterday). Switched back and forth at 45 MPH no problem. Some of it was just very wet road that was right on the edge of icing up. My opinion is if there is just a little bit of slippage it's ok to go 4WD Hi.

    And once I hit dry pavement in MissouriI took it up to 100 mph a couple times just for fun. The truck is in my garage no problems, no odd noises, did just fine when I put it into 4WD Hi again when I ran into a blizzard here in Colorado today.

    No problem, nice truck, it's pretty badass, a nice successor to the Gen I.

    I forgot to disengage 4wd once after a trail run and drove home at highway speeds on the 15 and 210 freeways averaging 80 MPH for about 45 miles :facepalm:
