How do you drive a G? - Benzworld.org

I am new to the G-wagen Off-road and I am finding it adictive.
1984 280GE Auto, 2 difflocks

Can I shift from 2-low to 4-high while running slowly? or do you put the gear shift in neutral first?
I maybe having problems with the transaxle as sometimes it gets stuck and I cannot change gears to park or reverse.

What about 4-high and 4-low? When we were running a creek bed with a Discovery I shifted into 4-low and locked the Diffs, put the air to about 10 pounds and in first gear used the break pedal and gas at the same time so I could slowly climb. I had two wheels in the air at one point and was a lot of fun. Once at the top put it in Park and ran back down in 2-high.

Great info, I printed it out and put it in the truck, however I have an automatic when and how is appropriate for shifting in 4high?

Your site about 4wd with automatics is great that is where I got hooked.

Thx
