my wife borrowed my truck because she needed 4x4

"okay, so how do you put it into 4x4?"

i tried not to look alarmed. haha.. they needed a nurse to go to some welfare check on some elderly living in a tent off the grid. some million dollar property with a canvas tent. hehe.

i told her to keep an eye out for wild hogs and see if she could get permission. she was not amused.

i'm pretty proud of my wife. she chose this tough career and she really loves it.

(dont worry, she is following a Sheriff in another 4x4. and there is a social worker in the truck with her.)

She's a good woman. That would be a no go for me.

Hey, better that she asked than didn't. And depending upon the truck, I'm sure there are variations, buttons, gear selectors, locking hubs, etc....

I haven't met her, but if she's latched on to you, she's gotta be awesome.

@Vash, she has an M3 correct? I use my 4Runner in the snow, but decided to use my MY today and it was as good in the snow as my Toyota in 4x4.

Tell her it is shift on the fly even going at 110 mph. Make sure she launches it off the next berm and get some air. Toyota 4xs are made for that.
