    Without engaging the hub lock, the front CVs would just spin themselves without spinning wheels, won't they? Correct me if I'm wrong.
    It also says in the 4WD engage guide(sticker on the sun visor) that I need to lock the hubs first before switching to 4WD. I've been told not doing so can damage the hub or CVs or something like that. I'm not sure if that's correct.
    you can engage the transfer lever in the cab, from 2 wheel drive to low range
    just DONT touch the hubs - leave them free wheeling

    your wanting to use the low torque and gearing of the transfer case to assist you in reversing it up your driveway

    NEVER NEVER NEVER lock your hubs in & engage 4wd while on Bitumen / pavers / slabs / any hard surface


    guaranteed to spit the teeth out of your transfer case if you do.......... (speaking from experience)
