Not completely old skool... I usually stop before hitting LO, but I use the lever while moving to switch between HI and 2WD all the time. I use 4WD on road due to the road conditions here in Italy.

Haha, Italy....that brings back some memories.....5 row traffic in 3 lanes in front of traffic lights, merging to 2 lane in 100 meters..."first honk, than look". Going again in two months time.

Anyway, shifting out of 4wd every now and then I needed to reverse and foward a few times...sometimes.

I can't actually remember if I ever selected 4part time....because I wouldnt really know what it would add....4Lo ok, but everyting else in 4 fulltime? I dunno, never really though about it, but curious as to what or why people found 4 parttime made a difference and when..

Stop calling your car a "she". It's a car.

You can shift between 2wd & Full time 4wd (Centre diff unlocked) on the fly at up to 100km/h Works a treat when the sky opens up and the roads are at their slipperyest.

It's not like that now... Not in the North at least. I've heard the traffic down South is worse. That actually sounds more like the time I spent in the Middle East... You were either in traffic, or had the foot to the floor to keep up with traffic. The biggest difference between your analogy and the ME is that they would never look. We would say the mentality is "if I don't look, you're not there." Then they would just pull right out in front of you. It looked a little like this most of the time...

Sounds like the mentality of the Romans with pedestrians who actually try to kill you on a pedestrian crossing!!!!

for safety i always stop just in case something ********ed up, touch wood it hasnt but i wouldnt personally, it takes all of 5 seconds to stop, disengage and get going again.

yes its possible to switch while in part time and full but not from hi to lo as far as i am aware.
