you should never put your truck into 4x4 on tarmac... only in mud/snow/ice... If you do it'll do what you have discribed and eventually break...

second that. Only test it on loose ground. It might not have had a problem before but it may now. Maybe research your car choice a bit more, some 4wds are permanent 4wd so are fine on hard surfaces but most that are selectable are so for a reason

If there were no loud bangs followed by the judder disappearing then you should be ok.

There is no central differential on a Jimny so you can ONLY use 4wd when there is something for the wheels to slip on (Ice, Snow,Mud). Strange as it may seem you need slip for the 4wd to work.

Other 4x4s such as Range Rovers, Discoverys and a lot of the "allroad" style vehicles have a central differential which provides a mechanical version of "slip" so they can be left in 4wd all the time.
