Great video, thanks....I learned something!
I beg your pardon, I resemble that remark!I wonder how many people actually thought their Bronco Sport was a true 4x4
Only the old guys will remember getting out and manually locking up the front wheels at the hub. :’P
guilty. 79 Bronco...STOP vehicle. Locate Red locking hubs. Turn right hub, turn left hub. Enter vehicle, carefully pull the floor shifter into 4H assuming highway speeds. 4L ONLY for low range under 25mph. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP the vehicle and unlock the hubs if you encounter dry pavement or you'll bind up the front axle and have serious issues.I wonder how many people actually thought their Bronco Sport was a true 4x4

Me old Gaffer didn't request so much as direct. I can't blame him too much; it was his truck, and we were teenaged boys driving a ginormous Ford truck with a ginormous 400 cu in V8. He just said, "If I ever find out you locked these hubs for any reason, I will kill you. And don't think I won't. I made you--I can make another one just like you."AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP the vehicle and unlock the hubs if you encounter dry pavement or you'll bind up the front axle and have serious issues.
love...dad. OR ELSE.
You mean lockers were not always controlled by hero switches on the dash?Betcha there’s a bunch a young tarts scratching their heads trying ya think of something to say to us old farts so they can sound smart about manual locking hubs.
I may as well tell these Glamping wilderness wannabes
The truth.
You didn’t dare engage your hubs until you were stuck, because if ya rode down a trail in full lock 4x4 and got stuck your on the Warner or needing a snatch rope pull from another 4x4. And you had to get out often in deep wet mud.
Any old timers remember hooking up the snatchers Making a train ?
