I was at WalMart tonite and the plow truck had just been down the main parking lanes, and there was a pretty good drift behind all of the vehicles. While I was driving around, I saw a guy in a Jap 4WD pickup (I believe it was a Toyota), and he couldn't get over the "hump" in 2WD. He had to get out of his pickup, snowing like a beatch, colder than billy hell, heavy snow that sticks to everything, AND lock his fronts in. Only then was he able to "climb" over the hump.
My devlish side wanted to pull up next to him. Put my truck in 2WD, back up, make it look like I couldn't get over, and then simply engage 4WD and back out. Fortunately for this dude,
there were cars on both sides of thim, so I don't think that he would have noticed if I had done that.
But it made me think, WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT (ON PURPOSE) MANUAL LOCK OUT HUBS??? I think that the standard on Ford Super Dutys is MANUAL lock out hubs. I think that you have to order and add on automatic hubs...
