4x4 Problem??

[FJBKLYN]

I have a new FJ and I noticed
when I put it in 4 Lo, if I make
a full turn, the wheels almost feel
as if they lock up or are rubbing
against something...

Like I said, I am new to 4x4 and hope you can
help...

Original rims and tires...
no mods...

Thanks!

Look up "binding" and you'll find your answers.

I'm not an expert but basically, you don't want to be in 4 wheel mode on solid ground, the binding is taking place because the wheels are unable to "slide"

There was a topic about this a while ago which had great information.

Put it in the dirt before turning on 4-low if you are on the street it will sound like binding. Not a problem, wait til you hear the atrac turn on, you'll be scared.
