Hilux auto front hubs

I think they would be a mechanical cam system rather than electrically activated.

I have heard of people changing them back to manual, but wouldn't have clue how it's done.

Just do it in 4wd the woldnt be so fragile as to not be able to go 20m on a hard surface at low speed

Sparky,

Mine hates towing. Any take off on a hill is hard work and I only tow camper trailers about 500kg. I have a manual, is yours an auto?

The current Hilux's have a electronic solenoid that controls the front diff activation.

Haven't looked into it much as it is something I don't need but I can see why it would be good in some aplications.

I might have a look at the wiring diagram tonight.

Sparky, I drop mine into low range at times when reversing up a steep driveway while towing. Providing you get the wheels pretty straight so you are not steering too much, I've found it OK over the short distances involved.

I drove twenty kilometers in 4wd once on the bitumen nd lived to tell the tale. I dont think your driveway is a challenge.
