I have tried both ways, clutch and no clutch. Doesnt make any difference as far as i can tell, and its much easier not to use the clutch rach time. My feeling is its fine to shift without clutch, but 7 times outta 10 i will still use the clutch.
The manual only says to depress the accelerator, which creates more vacuum power i guess.
Mmjhhhhhmmm interesting question.

I believe the front hubs are the same as a G3, ie vacuum operated. The transfer box is lever operated, the G3 transfer box is solenoid operated, its no more than an electrical lever, so can't see much difference here.
You can happily bang in and out of 4WD high on a G3 without using the clutch, the manual indicates you can do this up to some (cant recall) high mph figure. You only need to stop and preselect foot and steering wheel positions (ref manual) for 4wD low.
So I would guess the G4 is the same, but would have expected it to declare the same MPH limit and preselection details in the handbook as it does for the G3.
Also Andy's done it and it works
Having said all that I always try and stop if I can. Selected once 4WD Hi while traveling at 35 ish mph, the bang from the front hubs as they engaged went right over my mechanical sympathy level.
But yes, good question.

No need to press the clutch. Check the 4wd indicator light has come on and refer to the manual if not. But pressing the clutch will not be a problem but again make sure your wheels are facing straight forward to avoid a jolt through your transmission.

Im not sure sbout this vacuum thing, after all, wouldnt the engine be creating a vacuum effect when even idleing, or under engine breaking??

I believe the "accelerate slightly" is more to reduce the enormous bang as the front hubs engage. The forces under engine braking are larger than under slight acceleration, ie it's a speed match as they engage / disengage.
Just my idea.
