    With this mod everything still turns like it does stock. Basically the benefit from it is if you have a locker up front it allows you to disengage the 4x up front so you can turn. If you don't have a locker and you do this mod it basically gives you 2lo

    If you have an arb up front then it doesn't really matter since its selectable any way. Unless you want the 2lo mod.

    Also this would only benefit the j shift transfer case. Since the other one that has the push button 4x already does this basically.

    i have a rack similar to your and you have to put cross support for the legs inbetween the bed rails. when ya tie stuff down the sides of the bed move and fatigue the welds up top. you won regret doing this i promise. cause youll be angry when twice a year ya have to go back and re weld them

    Finally started wiring up my fogs. Got the relay put in as well as the grounds from both lights and from the relay its self. All I need to do now is tap into the head light and get the wires through the firewall and mount up the switch. Im trying to use the fog lights as such with the low beams on. I have searched up and down on here and other places trying to figure out which of the three wires to the head light is the low beam one. I read conflicting stuff saying one wire was both high and low so can anybody tell me which is which?
