Re: Proper steps to take engaging 4wd

i even roll the rig forward a bit after i lock the hubs in. gets them engaged so it connects to the diff. got stuck on a beach once cause like the tard i can be sometimes, i thought if i got stuck the hubs would lock when i turned them.. well they dont. drive shaft was spinning up front but tires didnt started getting pulled out and all of a sudden they engage. so what i do is: hubs locked, roll forward a bit, then engage stick. to pull it out: roll back, stick to 2wd, unlock hubs. in the winter time when i still lived up north id keep the hubs locked all winter doesnt hurt anything, infact its good to engage the hubs and drive some while in 2wd.
