    You just made a lightbulb turn on in my head thank you this is a good thing to know! Yea I am pretty certain I will be doing the same as you have it. I don't plan on running fast when it's slippery or anything it's moreso just learning the vehicles limitations and what it's capable of doing...

    Thank you so much for the reference points. Were all these triple locked with the majic dial? Lol I say that because it definitely seems to increase the price I'm just not sure exactly how much. From my observation FT triple was the highest asks by far. Is your RHD manual? If so how do you...

    This is what I was wondering Thanks! This helps me understand the differences which is why I'm asking about the limitations of 4h. I don't want to assume the 4H system is the same as a full time 80 so I guess what I am slowly realizing and not wanting to forget is what gilmorneau said.. if I'm...

    ahh this makes alot of sense - thank you for shedding light on the capabilities of how this system works. That's exactly what I'm after. I doubt I will go too far out with anything really. The premise of getting this vehicle is it seems to me time has shown the engineers and manufactures behind...

    Simple is my cup of tea and why I didn't mind that much in not getting the fancier FT engine (that is what the F stands for in FT right?) ;) Thank you for the clarity with H4...so driving in H4 at higher speeds (say the interstate) is still ok in slippery conditions right?

    Is it bad to keep the hubs locked like in wear and tear or fuel mileage? Am I wrong in thinking that if I did that it would just be the same as a full time 4wd 80? How fast were you going when you hit the h4 button while moving? And thank you for that clarification on the FTE! For some reason...

    This is really good to hear The thing is I don't think it has been driven much in the last 6 years.. maybe 2500 miles. And where it came from to where it is now is 2000 miles. That is concerning to me and I'm going to speak with the seller today and see if I'm correct in my deducing of the...

    Me neither man, not yet at least. I appreciate the observation as it's leading me to learn more about it!

    Does this mean I have no rear heat and if so is that manufactured that way? I ask because I see vents in the rear on the roof. I'm probably missing something obvious here but I try to always ask edit* here's the pic with the vents

    Thank you! Not just for the compliment but also for the information on this... it helps alot! It's like a nugget of gold. RWD can be fun I'm loving this thing already lol I do wonder if the idea behind this h4 part time was fuel mileage, longevity or cost.. Would I damage anything if I hit...

    Hmm this 4H button looks like it's going to be interesting... I wonder how different it is and if it's better/worse (or both) compared to the CDL edit* How unique is this guy?

    Finally joined diesel crew.

    Were you able to haggle any of the import duties or taxes into the final price or was it just dumped ontop of it all?

    DMV said if Illinois accepted it's process and it has a clean title (which it does) then it's just the normal process and no big deal
