Hey guys, I’m new here, and new to FSJs, so please forgive this probably obvious question.
I have a 1982 Limited Waggy (At least I assume it is; the guy I bought it off of on CL from didn’t mention the ‘Limited’ part, but I found a metal ‘Limited’ decal under the front seat, and it seems to have power everything: windows, mirrors, seats, cruise control, etc). Also, it’s an automatic transmission, if that helps at all. I’m assuming a 3 spd. The waggy is not operational yet, but getting close to it. (it did turn over and drive around the block; we're rebuilding the engine)
My question is about the 4x4 part. I believe that Quadra-Trac was still used in ’82 (correct me if I’m wrong), and I want to know what I have: Quadra or Selec. I have locking hubs on the front. I know that kits were sold to change Selec-Trac to locking hubs, but I also want to know if they were ever stock. If what I have are indeed aftermarket hubs, where would the 4x4 switch be on the dash, because I can’t seem to find it? I’ve heard that some serious crap could happen if one tries to drive with the hubs locked and the switch turned off.
Also, on a related note, while underneath changing the tranny filter, I noticed some kind of wire coming out of the transfer case. The part that attached to the transfer case is on a removable pivot. The other end has been cut, and is just hanging down. It resembles brake cable for a bicycle. Did this have something to do with the 4x4 at all? Possibly altered when the previous owner installed the hubs (if they aren't stock)
Again, sorry for being a NOOB. This is not my first vehicle, but the first one that I actually care to learn how it operates. Any insight here would be spectacular.
