How often do you engage your 4WD?

Don't go off-road much with my 4-Runner, but try to engage the 4WD on a regular basis, just to keep it reliable. Would be interested to know how often other members cycle their 4WD drive, especially on vehicles that don't go off-road much.

 

i engage 4wd at least once a month. during the winter id use it at least 2 times a week

 

From memory , Toyota recomends once a month for 20 kms.

 

Always

 

at least monthly for 4lo and center diff. Mostly I just leave mine in 4Hi for months at a time to pretend like I have a v8

 

Bout once every other week or so just to play in the dirt

 

Once a month I cycle the center locker as well as L4 to make sure everything is working properly.

 

ALL THE DAMN TIME!

 

But ive had more issues with Locker not working over time then the 4WD not working. On my 1st Gen Tacoma when I first purchased it had locker problems had to take if off and test bench cycle it and replace the grease. The girl I bought it from NEVER used it. But as for my 4runner ive never had issues EVER. Probably cause I'm often on a trail. Works super easy to use when you do the Anytime locker mod.

 

2-3x a month lately. Don't actually need it 90% of the time, but whenever I hit dirt I throw it into 4hi. I really need to cycle the center diff and 4low more often, but Carmax paid for a brand new actuator before I took possession so it's not sticky at the moment.

 

4H a few times a day.

I try to hit 4L a few times a week.

 

You get that snow Sean?

BTW, I hate snow unless it's Christmas eve or Christmas morning.
