Stupid question time

When 4 hi or low, can you go in reverse for a period of time

Not sure why I'm asking but the question popped into my head.

Yup no dramas

Drive as normal

x2, unless you own a gutlux. My mate blew his gutlux gearbox the other day by reversing down hill in low range on super slick orange clay for a total of 5 metres!!....... man those things are weak!

lmao.

I remember reading about binding gears or something and can't remember what that was about and this thought came to my head.

With auto hubs or it pays to reverse to stop axle wind up after a session

EDIT: Actually that may be just for full time 4wd like Prado etc
