Noisy turning 4 wheel drive

Never had a problem with it in my "bottom of the line" Jeep. I never twisted an axle or busted a gear in it. I never drove it that way on dry pavement, only wet. It was a great safety preventative. My Jeep came with the hubs bolted together (no freewheeling hubs). So I was driving around with a locked front axle even though the transfer case wasn't in gear. I had my Jeep for a year before I bought the Warn hubs. The only thing that came standard was the drivers seat. Even the mirrors and passenger seat was an option. There other Jeepers in my neighborhood that taught me to drive on wet pavement in 4wl-hi and that it was possible in a Jeep. When I tried this same trick in my Toyata it was a no go. I know that AWD and 4WD drive is not the same. There you go assuming that nobody knows as much as you do again. AWD was developed because it is known that the more tires have traction with the ground, the safer you are bound to be. I know you know this, you just want to argue.

ANY 4WD without center diff will grind. If Jeep doesnt and Toyota deos then its either because its not noticeable or the Jeep is too light to notice.

The trouble you would eventually have is that the tcase chaine would become stretched, which in turn would damage the sprockets that it rides on.

I never drove it that way on dry

Yes, I have a CJ with hubs that I generally keep locked all of the time, so I also drive like that.

Perhaps the mirrors, but not the passenger seat. The Back Seat is an option on the base model 4 banger.

Lots of people know more than me. I have no problem with that. But it is not a good idea to drive a Part Time 4WD vehicle in 4WD on paved roads. The 4WD system -- tcase, particularly -- will complain.

AWD was developed to accomodate the problems that 4WD bring to the table.

4WD is generally -- not always -- a lable that they stick on trucks, but they find that when they stick it on a passenger car then the buyers seem ot object for some reason. Too truck-like is a common refrain. So, they named it All Wheel Drive, and the masses like it better. AWD is always a system that can be left on year around if the driver wants, and some can't be turned off at all.

Back to the original complaint, the Toyota truck you have uses a part time

4WD system that doesn't like being on while driving on paved streets. The symptoms that you will notice when it is complaining is that the steering wheel will wobble in a tight turn, and there can be various clunking and banging noises. Your Jeep uses part time 4WD too, and you'll eventually damage the transfer case if you don't listen to what it is telling you through the steering wheel.

Actually, I didn't have the original "complaint". I only made a comment and got stuck in the middle.

Either some newsreader clients do not show the thread tree. Or, some posters do not know how to read the tree as I see replies to the wrong person all of the time. I am replying to your comment but there will be replies to others on this branch.

Like I've told you before, there's no way you're gonna grow decent lettuce when temps are 90+ degrees, unless you suspend some shading material over them.

(Just kidding!)

ROFLMAO LOLOLO!

What kind of shading do you suggest?

4 wheel drive shading. No...wait....seriously: Dark window screen, suspended at least a food over the plants.

Sorry. You got mad at me, and I thought you were the OP.

In any case, Part Time 4WD is not intended for use on pavement. One of the signs of using it on pavement is that the steering wheel will give feedback in the form of wobbling in your hands during tight turns, as might be encountered in low speed driving. High speed driving won't give the feedback so noticably because the turns are not tight enough to result in large speed differences in the front and rear tires.
