im new to this machine and have a couple questions, first off the front hubs engage when the back tires slip, so when do they disengae? it cant be when they stop slipping or else this would be as soon as 4x4 kicks in. ALso in the manual it says don't go in water over the running boards, but where is the real watch point?? bottom of gas tank? Also are the front struts adjustable, the front seems way to spongy on this machine like if i sit on it it drops 5" i would like to stiffen it up so it is comparable to the back. or is this a bad idea?? last question is shifting into high is tough and it really jumps in hard, grinds some times, but low and reverse are no problem??? ALso lever is real stiff, oh ya the oil resevoir reads above full should i dump some oil out or because its a sump system is it ok.



what tire size do you guys run on these, do you need a lift w/ 27's
