snow driving question
#21
Best vehicle in snow i've ever driven is my dad's '90 single cab 22re with wee little 225 walmart goodyears. With 4x4 and open diffs driving on ice covered roads it's never slid on me in 4x4.

So I'm getting a little confused. I understand about the locking 4wd and different diff speed front vs rear. I understand about open diffs. But what is this talk about locking hubs? Does my 4Runner have a locking front diff? Is that what the black things are sticking out of the center of the front wheels are for?

i have a question that relates to this... im also pretty new to the 4wheel drive world... it was said a few posts back about being able to shift from 2hi to 4hi, and 4hi to 2hi while driving... does this hurt anything while doing so? and while leaving the front hubs locked, does that hurt anything as well, or is just the fuel mileage it hurts?

One spring I drove from Maniwaki Quebec to the middle of New York state before I discovered I still had the hubs engaged (in 2WD obviously), without any problems then or since (that was about 10 years ago). The hubs were engaged for almost all of the Quebec winter, tho I didn't do much driving.
