Hi, being new to the surf and 4x4 in general, I am a little uneducated with respect to free wheeling hubs. I have a 3rd gen ssrg and whenever i lift off the throttle the engine revs return to idle speed no matter what speed i am doing. Are these free wheeling hubs? With all the snow thats about I am a little concerned with slowing down as i would normally use the engine for braking but cannot in my surf. i do not want to break anything so have not yet locked the diff to drive until i know what i am doing. i can use the 4wd system with unlocked diff for acceleration, but the beast will only slow down using the brakes (very dangerously in the snow). Is there a way of locking the hubs if they are free wheeling and how do you do it? Do you have to lock the hubs before selecting 4H/L 4wd with diff lock?
Any comments appreciated even to take the micky out of my lack of knowledge!! , cheers, gary.
