noticed last time i went 4x4ing with my m8 and his vit, that sometimes he was in 4h/4l, with hubs locked and the back wheels would spin, but no drive in the front. any ideas what the problem is / how to fix.

fyi, it was unusually easy to lock the hubs, well compared to my sierra.

probably never been in 4x4 or had the hubs serviced and the grease has set like glue so they dont lock all the time, for some reason vit hubs seem to like not working even though they are oretty similar to sierras and so on

pull em off and have a look, maybe a clean and grease (not to much) will get em going

That's cause most sierras spend time offroad lol. J/K guys.

nah its cause vits are so much better they go further in 2wd so you never have to lock the hubs
