    Engaging 4x4 on 1989 Toyota 4Runner 2-door 5-speed

    Okay lifted I mean it's been raized smartass, and as for the disengaging I finally figured it out, my cousin came over and he happened to own a 88 SR5 back in his day so he figured out that you were right, After going from 4H to 2H, you're supposed to reverse to unlock the gear THAN you're...

    Actually no thing is, he said he didn't know how to use it that the owner before him knew, but my dad burned the old pink slip for some "security measures" that makes no sense so I don't even know where he lives, and also the guy who sold it was leaving that next day out of state so I have no...

    Well, the thing is when I try it and I drive forward, the truck starts doing some loud clamping and nasty shaking, but when the previous owner took it off he did it like nothing but didn't explain how he did it. Didn't look like he ever even used the 4WD on the truck ever so I wouldn't doubt...

    Well when the guy did it he didn't even move it, the thing is what I mean is this. If you look at a Jeep Wrangler or something, the 2H 4H and 4L go in a straight line, forward and back movement, but the 4runner has like side-forward/side-backward movements and I just can't figure out the trick...

    I did google it many times, I tried many ways but couldn't figure it out, basically I can engage 4WD without a problem, however dis-engaging it back to 2H is something I couldn't do, I know theres a trick to doing it but I'd just have to see it done on video or something...I'll post a picture...

    I just saw they're auto-locked hubs, and uhm..kay basically all I need to know is if theres a trick to disengaging the 4x4 on the truck cause I don't know if I follow the diagram on the stick or is there a trick to it I need to know.

    IT's a 5-speed manual transmission and I don't know how to tell whether auto or manual hubs.

    Engaging 4x4 on 1989 Toyota 4Runner 2-door 5-speed

    Hi, I'm new to this and my dad just got me a 1989 Toyota 2-door 4runner, the ones that you can take the top off and I was wondering if anyone can help me out with the 4x4. When we first drove it, I engaged the 4x4 just to make sure it worked, first 4H than 4L and worked perfect, however when I...
