these jimny use air and the pipes corrode and give up! so the 4wd dont work (youll know cos the 4x4 light normally flashes.....when working should be solid green)

the manual hubs just allow you to lock the hubs at front so 4wd allways works and doesnt fail

before i fixed mine i was out in farm and only in rwd i got stuck on my own so had to get the wheels spinning jump out and push my car out then jump back in once it was moving lol

these are what i got

I've always learnt better off buying stuff already modded cos you don't lose the money on bits then
