That may happen on any Ranger case, but there are LOTS of NP cases that can run on dry pavement no prob (My Jeeps have all run fine in 4 hi anyway) The weather around here can change every couple miles, and it is a royal pain to stop and shift the case in and out, for only a 100 foot stretch of snow or flood water, then have to shift back again because the road got dry (and back up, go forward, and back till the stupid thing pops out of 4 lo to 4 hi, then 2 hi) Maybe the Atlas would work, but I didn't read it had an open 4hi
