Yeah when I get time I'll jack up the tires and see if the front driveshaft spins when I put it in 4x4. Hopefully it's just a vacuum problem.

I think I found the problem.

This little guy with the green clip keeps popping off the vac line. When in 2wd there is no vac to it. When in 4wd there is vac to it. It attaches to the T-fitting that goes to the 4x4 actuator. So I moved it to a new home where it will stay on. (hopefully)

By the way, what is it?

Glad you got that figured out hopefully it will continue to work. As for what it is I have no idea I'm guessing some sort of sensor but I really don't have a clue I'm sure someone much more inteligent than I will be along soon to let us both know what its called LOL...

Maybe could you do a write up in the electrical section on how to convert to LED's? a complete step by step would be extremely awesome! Are they just plug and play or what?

Yeah it's all plug and play for the leds. I may get around to doing that one day.

Edit: Oh, if you mean for the parking lights then yeah you need to cut,splice, and drill for those.

Build looks good! I was originally waiting on you and Gio to make a build thread. Gio did his and then recently you did yours too! Think I'll subscribe to both.

Does that mean you're going to do one? *hint hint*

Haha, I don't know that I have done enough mods yet. I might make one.

Ok so I guess I never updated this build.

I finally got my relay wired for the reverse lights to come on when I put it in reverse.
I also made a rough template for the heat shield out of cardboard.
And lastly I installed a 3w pcb led in the engine compartment.
