It's a part time 4x4, and I mean REALLY part time.
It doesn't get used often, but it's required when I have to drive the 5 miles of deep mud to get to a paved road after a storm.
If the roads are muddy I generally just stay home, but there is the rare occasion I do need to get out and back in.
If I go to cut firewood, I usually put it in 4 low and crawl across country.
So the usage will be very limited, and also will be slow speed.
I bought a shim pack to allow for the possible difference in carriers, even though my existing shims might do fine.
It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
