Gives me lesser confidence taking it off road now, my model only has a single button for 4wd low, and no transfer case what ever that means . Sorry, I'm foreign to 4wd.
Hi Imaz, I agree, you should definitely do 4x4 driver course, and joining a 4x4 club is also a good idea for any one new to the 4x4 family!.

If your GC has the low 4wd button, then it is "a real 4x4" and DOES have a transfer case. (This allows you to select low range gearing, which gives you more control when off road). (Very basic description)

This is my 2011 Laredo CRD, steel spring suspension, 50mm suspension lift and some better tyres.

This shows just how capable a 4x4 the GC is.


Book a off road driving course, join a 4x4 (jeep) club, learn some more about your jeep, you'll love it (you can't learn to drive your 4x4 on the net).
And stay on the forum, you can learn all sorts of great tips about your GC.
