[Az-Geocaching] OT: Jeep question

[Raphaella Emet]

Most vehicles have the airbag sensors in the bumper. There have been
accidents where the bumper of the vehicle wasn't hurt even though the
vehicle was toast and the airbags never deployed because the sensors didn't
get the impact.

I don't go fast at all when in 4LO.  I think the stuff I've read says never
to even exceed 20mph or so or the t-case will grenade.

This just got me thinking.... (imagine that!)..... I would think the air bag

'should' be disabled when the vehicle goes into 4hi... or 4wd period. In 4 
low you are just basically crawling along and although you might be bumping 
and bouncing.. I wouldnt think you would be taking any jarring bounces going

that slow... in 4 low, you are just crawling over rocks and such. Now in 4 
hi, you are likely traveling at a faster speed and if you hit a bit of a 
bump at higher speeds, that could more likely potentially cause the airbag 
to pop out. I dont know about the stock gearing in a Jeep, but my truck in 4

low will not go over perhaps 5 mph!!!! :)
