Hi guy's , thanks in advance for your time.

I finally got my 4runner out of storage , it started life as a 22re 4x4 , I've put a vw TDI engine in it last summer.

I began doing the projet in this truck , because i've bough it for a 300$ , the body is rough , and floors were gone but it was a cheap rolling chasis for all my test fits.

I wanted to make the whole swap work perfectly before pulling it all out and putting it back in a pretty decent body..... but i've finally decided to run it as is for at least this upcoming summer.

Longstory short , i've bough the truck with a blown head gasket engine and never really had time to run the 4x4.

But now i do , and there is a strange thing happening , when i'm in 4x4 , low or high , its seems like the front right wheel doesn't want to turn over , when i get back on 2wd , the wheel still doesn,t want to turn , until i reverse for maybe , 5 feets , than everything is good again (in 2wd).

Any idea are welcome.

Also , they are manual locks , and they are both on.

Thanks guy's !

Édit : I'll make a short video once it stops raining

 

Manual or auto locking hubs? I would check for CV bind first thing.

 

With the manual hubs unlocked can you rotate any of the shafts by hand? This will give you an idea of what is binding, you'll be able to hear see or feel it most likely.
