You dont want to be driving on the road in the dry in 4wd. You will end up breaking it 
Lock the front hubs manually, then block the vacuum pipes so that the vacuum doesnt get to the hubs but no water can get in. Then it will work no worries. But you will get the 4wd light flashing at you when you select 4H and 4L.

Mine were permanently locked when i bought the car. I replaced them with some Aisin manual hubs hoping that i would get a bit more power in 2wd and better MPG, in reality it made no difference.
They only gain i see is that i can use low range in 2wd. (surprising how well you can get around in 2L
)
