We're you letting on and off the gas? The vehicle will inherently jerk because of the gear reduction producing much more torque than 4H

It'll feel like a someone shov'd a red hawt pok'r up yer kiester, I reckon'! be walkin' funneh fer a week!
Joking aside, you'll notice a reduction in acceleration (due to lower gearing), a more jerky/torquey feeling when using the throttle (again due to gearing). You'll also notice the vehicle making probably a little more gear noise and being slower. It might stiffen up the steering slightly, its not as noticable as domestic vehicles. But you'll feel like you're crawling along more than you do in 4Hi.

That actually helps me! ^^^
But what I was trying to explain was that at some moments I did not have any feet on the pedals, and the car started moving forward (like usual as if your in traffic) but it was doing the same chugging thing. Honestly the best way i can describe it is if your riding a bike with a bent wheel, how it kept you from moving ! If that helps :jump:

4lo is awesome, there's so much torque that you really have to stomp on the brakes to get it to stop.

Maybe had something to do with some snow and ice in the wheel well or on the wheel.

If you are in slush locking the diff in 4lo should be a "needed" option in other words if you don't need it don't use it. (lecture button to OFF)
It will naturally feel "jerky" anytime in 4lo. If you are in 4hi and lock the diff you should be able to track better with the improved steering ability. If not put your shifter into 2nd gear and see if that helps. Tires do play a major factor as well. If you on snow which covers ice you are going to potentially get more jerks per meter than if no ice is there.
