In the manual it says you can shift into 4Hi up to 55 mph. So I think you wouldn't want to drive much faster than that. lol

Not with a dodge ram. Unless he has a ton of money into his running gear it won't hold up..

According to wiki, this is all you need to make a truggy
1. A full roll cage, built off a factory style frame.
2. Large off-road tires.
2. Long-travel suspension, featuring a solid axle in the rear and independent suspension in the front.
3. Low gearing usually featuring dual transfer cases or aftermarket gears in a single case.
4. Locking differentials

and waaalah
