That rig is gorgeous looking!!! Don't scratch it up offroad, I will cry for you.

The 4x4 should still be good even though it hasn't been used. The transfercase spins all the time since the power to the rear shaft goes through it. It keeps the oil churning up.

I am surprised that you have manual hubs.

Does your truck have a auto disconnect on the front axle? You can check by crawling under the truck. There will be an extra assembly on the passenger side axle tube. It has vac lines going to it, and it has a portion that has a rubber accordion style boot.

The only issue I can think of from infrequent use is the plunger for the front axle disconnect getting stiff.

Just lock in the hubs and go. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
