June 11th - Long Ranch

[Mauzer]

Yeah I got unlazy and checked the website, glad we're going here instead of HF

Well ladies, I'm one step closer to being ready for the meet. Waking up at 6:30 to drive Christa to work sucks ass, but at least it was nice and cool outside while I reinstalled the front diff. 4wd all checked out. Now I just have to plumb the ARB and weld on my sliders.

Is it just me, or are manual hubs just about the coolest thing ever?

 

[Mauzer]

Nice! and I'm jealous of the manual hubs, my Jeep had manual hubs and it was great. The only time I like the push button 4WD in my 4Runner is when its raining and I can throw it in AWD (multimode xfercase).

Until you hit a mud hole without them locked...

I hope I don't ever do anything that dumb. Plus I can still lock up the rear diff with the push of a button... or 2

...it does happen sometimes when your driving along and the bottom falls out suddenly. Then the suck fest begins, I've had to jump out in knee deep mud and dig down to lock a few times down at the river by my house.

I never push my button? I throw the lever in 4lo whenever I wheel, but rarely do I ever hit the button..?

Yours doesn't have the multimode, I think yours is still a J-shift. I believe only the 99+ with the center diff lock have multimode cases

WTF, you have center diff lock?

 

[Mauzer]

Yeah, when I push the 4WD button it goes into AWD, from there I can hit the center diff lock and it goes into 4WD.

Seriously? I thought only Land cruisers came with that case. I'm gonna have to rethink what I'm looking for for Christa, .

Or get on the freeway with one of them locked and one unlocked... ask me how I know that sucks :o

Its the same case they used in the LC's, one of the reasons I got Ang a 4Runner (besides the obvious selfish reasons of wanting another one )

 

[SamSter0077]

center diff lock.. must be nice. No, I don't have that...

Yours is always locked. Not a bad thing.

It is if you want to use 4wd on the pavement

x2 makes it tougher to mall crawl.. sometimes you need that 4lo..

 

[Mauzer]

I mallcrawl like a champ! <sips Rockstar® energy drink>

 

[Silverback]

bahh.. its Texas.. we dont need 4WD on pavement. The one day every two years that it snows I just stay home.
