If u don't lock the hubs there is no 4x4. The axles will just spin in the hubs without being engaged. It won't hurt anything but you are still only putting power to 2 wheels.

Transfer Case

Yes you can do this, but be very careful because there is a lot of power being put to those rear wheels. I use it to backup my snowmobile and boat trailers w/o burning the clutch. I can go a lot slower and have a lot more control. I don't have to touch the gas when i let out the clutch so I can have my foot on the brake and be able to inch myself backwards which can be difficult in a manual truck.


Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

I do it all the time. I don't understand why anyone would pay for a twin-stick t-case - my 2Lo works fine.
