That's normal in all the 4X4's I've driven. The gears have to line up to engage. Some owner's manuals (Chevy) used to say back up a few feet to lock/unlock the 4x4 system. Takes the load off the drive train, especially on hard dry surfaces.

Yes, it's always best to have it locked into 4X4 before you really need it. A lot of people panic when they get stuck and tear up their tranny and gear boxes grinding them into gear.
