IMHO the chance of breaking something is worth the fun you will have doing it!

look I have had my truck in a lot of places it probably shouldnt go, but I havent broken anything yet. First use 4x4 HIGH. You don't need low unless you are trying to pull someone out. Secondly, dont put the wheels at full lock and floor. Your tiny little cv shafts wont like it and will come flying apart. I think if you take it easy youll be fine. Justin

4 low is very handy if you get stuck in 4 high.
once you stop(get stuck)
change over to 4low.
the lower gearing will help in case your motor is having trouble getting enough power to the wheels.
Just don't redline it!
