You have to lock the hubs to get 4 anything, & with regard to your daihatsu auto hubs in my experience they can be as hit and miss as the air hubs. Best just go for a set of manual locking hubs such as the AVMs or SJ/Vitara with Martins spacers, then you know they are either locked or unlocked.

so what your saying is the hubs have to be locked to have any 4wd so if hubs dont lock in you will only have 2wd even when its in 4wd that right ?

In 4wd the front axle drives, but if the hubs aren't locked, the front wheels are not connected, so they get no drive.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
