All I can say is good luck with the use of 4L on long climbs exceeding a speed of 40-50 km, please write back in 6 months with your learnings and experience. This is the most common and only trait of biased clubs to play with ego in a pissing contest to either show who can climb the highest or who can jump the highest for maximizing damage. For a true hill climb, there are multiple things required if you need to compare Apple to Apple. Most of it boils down to: First: Experience, skills (line of attack, approach angle, distance and momentum), and understanding of your car gearing and power band, tires, tire size, tire pressure, and weight in the car. Second comes power mods and suspension. The Last is 4H and 4L.

This 2023 owner's manual explains the logic to some extent: 3-4 times the engine speed in Low gearing. Page 143 https://cdn.dealereprocess.org/cdn/servicemanuals/jeep/2023-wrangler.pdf

As far as I remember, the Wrangler states a maximum speed of 40 kmph in Low Gear. (Please double-check with your owner's manual). Recently last year @Pavel Pashkovskiy enlightened me that the "Sand Runner" owner manual says up to 90 kmph in Low gear as they have some Mohave edition or gearing that allows such high speed in Lo. As Fredy and Sri mentioned, most clubs that back 4 Low driving are backed by garages or off-road product sponsors, so they are pressed to break a minimum number of cars every week, like a sales target. Even the many owners of such garages car sit in workshops for 5 days every week to come out and play 1 day as a show car doing top climbs and defying gravity at extreme angles. @Josh S read your owner's manual, which will help you not let your head explode. https://www.jeep.com.eg/content/dam/jeep/eg/other-pdfs/owners-manual/Jeep_Wrangler_Owners_Manual.pdf Page 234

Get well soon Fredy, take lots of rest

Thanks @DP1011 for managing the convoy order for both convoys, much appreciate it. @Nizar Shawwa have you changed to Rubicon, last I recall was VXR, or does your profile show the incorrect car?

If you have Sharjah registration, you can visit Sharjah registration center and visit the plate factory inside with a broken or damaged plate, they will change it immediately for 50-60 dh.

@Shaun J you have moved to drive RSVP now, please confirm if you still like to join for the drive?

Get well soon, and take a lot of rest.

Amazing planning and research Fredy, much appreciated it. Global Village fireworks are the best as they run every 30 min from 9 PM for different time zones, so if you miss one, catch another one soon.

Apply lithium grease or WD40 on the hinges and door lock closing latch. Grease will last longer up to 3-6 months, and WD40 will wear off in a month.

@Mahesh_ Most likely no harm done, as these stuff have a lot of margin for error. Also if you were on a straight road, it's perfectly fine, if the road had turns or a roundabout I'm sure you must have felt the car acting very heavy and that must be upsetting the drivetrain and central diff a bit more. The best part is whatever damage has to happen, would have been done then and there, like snapping the front driveshaft at 100 kmph or while on the roundabout at 40-60 kmph speed with locking central diff. If nothing happen, take it easy and enjoy your car. The reason the car didn't alarm, is that in the desert you can drive above 100 kmph with a locking diff but not on the tarmac.
