Just some suggestions.
Did your friend include the owners manual with the sale? You might call a Jeep Chysler dealer and ask for someone who can answer your questions.
While I've never drove a Jeep I would believe your friend because I do remember that same warning about higher speeds and 4WD being issued long ago on similar vehicles.

It most likely true. My Xterra is like that. If you need to drive in 4x4 mode, then conditions must be bad enough where you shouldn't be driving that fast in the first place. Besides, learn to drive it w/o 4x4 and use it only to get you out of trouble.

Hard core, true posi lock 4wd should NOT be engaged or driven over 55mph. It was like that for my Scout II as well since it was a true 4 wheel drive with power to ALL wheels ALL the time (in 4wd mode), positraction front and rear. Also be sure to engage 4wd once a month to keep all parts properly lubed.

Do you belong to one of those "celebration of average" groups?
