4lo do it when your stopped,engine running..I usually put mine in neutral,not sure if need to.4hi you can do while not moving or up to 55mph.

I think 93 and up are shift on teh fly, for Hi, any where between 0-40 MPH and you can engage 4wd. When I drove the jeep on the street, I perfered to do it from stop, if it would not engage, I would go to a slight roll.

I shifted my pick up into 4wd last week while going 45 mph(states it can be done till 60) and I go the most god aweful sound.

I prefer to do it while stopped, but that's just me...

My 4Lo is real seems kinda tricky, never seems to work the same way. Sometimes I can engage and disengage in neutral or park with the engine running, and sometimes I've had to shut the Jeep off to disengage it without getting a horrible grinding noise.

For 4lo I put it in neutral and sometimes I used to have to rock back and forth a bit to get it engage but switched to a Novak shifter and it glides right into lo now. Never tried 4lo in gear prob would have to force it.
