Hi all. Could someone please let me know if it is possible to select low 4WD without engaging front hubs on 2000 troopy for moving heavy caravan on bitumen driveway ? Am unsure and don,t want to do damage to vehicle.
Thanks

I used to do it on my GQ for backing the trailer up a tight dirveway and it never seemed to cause a problem.
I figure it engages the front diff but if the locking hubs are not in then the drive is just spinning and you won't get windup.
If you don't steer too much and the drive is not too long you should be able to put the hubs in and do it in 4L. The big question is what is too much?
It won't break the second you do it. Provided you give the transmission an opportunity to un-wind when you are finished things should be OK.
