I havn't had mine long enough to be able to play with 4x4 yet, so I can't say from personal experience, however the manual says that you can shift in and out of 2 hi and 4hi at any speed. One has to come to a complete stop to go into 4 low.

What He said been doing it that way for almost 20 years with Broncos.

however the manual

I know I've read that I was just curious who does what. I know every Bronco is different and reacts differently,Like Know in my jeep is I don't do it on the fly,It makes a **** of a noise after a few feet,Whenit finally engages

yeah, any speed....

btw, our good trooper roadkill posted this Bronco 4x4 operation manual here last year

guessing about da heep..ck hubs for worn parts, then ck spindles, brgs, U joint..work way back to splines, etc.///

When shifting from 2hi-4hi I try to keep my speed under 20mph or so. I know, I know plenty of guys like to yank that stick while tooling down the road at 50+ but I grew up with NP205's and that $hit just don't fly with gear-drives. Might be that it's just fine with the BW1356 but I figure keeping my speed reasonable when shifting isn't hurting anything. Shifting into or out of 4lo I *always* come to a complete stop and usually have better luck getting it to shift if I'm in neutral.

 

[Roadkill]

Broncobill's right, although the book says "any speed" I wouldn't do it at highway speed. In fact, if you are in conditions that warant 4x4 you shouldn't be going terribly fast anyway.

LIKE BB78 SAID ABOUT 20 MPH IS RESONABLE, IF LIKE ME YOUR RUNNING BW1356 ANYMORE THEN THAT AND THEY SEEM TO MAKE UNGODLY NOISES...I'M ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT THAT CHAIN DRIVE..OH AND DON,T TRY A BURN-OUT IN 4-WHEEL EITHER KNEW A GUY WITH A F250 THAT TRIED TO IMPRESS THIS SWEET THANG,LOOKED COOL FOR ALL OF ABOUT A COUPLE A MINUTES TILL THE T-CASE GRENADED AND A ROLLBACK HAD TO TAKE HIM HOME...NOT TOO IMPRESSIVE....

i shift on the fly all the time mine never grinds. but i can't shift into low at all when moving. if i'm in low range, i can shift out when moving, but only a few km
