so is it bad?
If I remember correctly in the manual it says that I have to drive in 4wd for at least 10 miles a month to keep everything oiled. And all I drive on is pavement. Is this bad? Oh and I have a limited edition 1995 sr5 4Runner.

Seriously, I just put mine in 4WD on rainy days because the pavement will slip then and won't be quite so hard on the system. It also lubes it and I get to run through puddles. Wheeeee!

I try to drive mine in 4wd for a few miles every month as well. Except when I do it on pavement, most of the time I just go straight and just slight movement of the wheel left and right back and forth. You don't want to go for a full hard turn or u-turn. That'll be bad.......

if it makes you feel any better, some trails get old after a while. I know this area of the prescott national forest better than the city of prescott itself..
oh it also wastes the small ammount of money that I do make, but hey, what else have I got to spend it on

I thought the 4WD high in the 4runner was much closer in the way it works to a straight definition "AWD" rather than "4x4", i.e. it was designed to be driven on dry with no ill effect.

The new multi-mode 4WD feature is actually a full-time all-wheel-drive system with 2WD capability. The all-wheel 4WD mode may be used in normal driving conditions on all types of roads from dry, hard surface roads, such as pavement, to wet, icy or snow-covered roads.
The manual also doesn't mention one bit about driving in 4HI on dry also.

All 4runners and trucks prior to "multi-mode" have part time 4wd which is not designed to be used on pavement. The driveline will bind up, severe wear and breakage is possible. Straight line driving is OK, just don't try to turn sharply. If you have trouble shifting back out of 4wd try giving it more or less gas. If you get it bound up so bad that you can hardly move forward, keep the wheel how it is and back up slowly until you can shift out of 4wd.
