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.

@Frederic would the Rubicon put even more stress on the car in 4L when compared to the Sport/Sahara given the ratios?  Ie. More likely to damage with excessive speed. 

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.

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.

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.
