I ran my old Cherokee in 4 wheel drive only for nine years with no problems. I was going to do the same with my Shogun, but was told (on facebook, arrggh!!) that you shouldn't do that with this car. Is that true, or is someone telling me nonsense?

Many thanks!

What was the reason given - Diff problems?

If so that's not true.

The recommended setting for towing is 4WD and this summer just gone I've travelled over 3,500 miles round Europe in 4WD without incident.

The same is not true for the gearbox settings locking the central diff though.

Well that would appear to be a good answer then!

You can (and a lot of people do) drive in 4WH on the road permanently if you wish. But you can only select 4WHL or 4WLL when on a loose surface such as sand,mud and snow. It’s all in the manual and on a sticker on the drivers door.

Pajero can be full time or part time 4w4 .
No problem at all to leave it in 4wd that's what I like about pajero

Mines in 4H and will stay there until winter has come and gone and the weather improves.
