    Basic 3" lift on OME springs and bilsteins, timbren bumps, locking diff, other fun things.
    I have a strange issue where my 4wd sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. I do pretty agressive offroading and at the start of the summer it was going into 4wd quick, but now sometimes it doesn't actuate, or takes a super long time and a lot of messing around. Any ideas as to why this might be? I haven't really looked into what could cause this
