allow me

when the ground is slippery or slidey your 4x4 can be used in 4x4 to give you more traction

I have a 4x4, and so do many other people on this site.
However there have been a few problems with Auto locking hubs on the Terranos, and some members have replaced them with Manual locking hubs.

The main problem is testing them to see if they really work, so I have devised this test, but it does require a helper.


1.Find a passenger-helper.
2.If you have manual hubs, lock 'em.
3.Get into some real wet slippery mud.
4.Engage 4 wheel drive.
5.Stop the Terrano (in the mud).
6.Turn the steering wheel all the way left.
7.Stick your head out the driver's side window.
8.Look directly at your front wheel.
9.Floor the accelerator, only for a second or two.
10.Pull your head back in and look at the passenger-helper.
11.If the passenger-helper is laughing, your 4 wheel drive is likely engaging.

Simple test.....

I think this advice meets all the requirements of this thread.
