Yeah, now that's true. I've done that leaving the trails and forgetting to take it out of 4x.

I'm wondering, wouldn't it still have an issue in 2wd?

Good point, not yet. To get the full lift up front I've got to reindex the T-bars. I might just go ahead and get it done to see if that helps.

It's auto on the fly. I'll give some of those ideas a try. It just started happening after the lift. That's why I was worried. We'll see what happens.

I try not to use it in town, but here it gets real icy real fast. Replaced the front axles 3 years back. Boots are good. I don't think it's clicking, hard to tell, 98% of the time I'm on crunchy ice/snow. Back when I lived in Cali, when I wasn't up in the mountains much, I would get in a parking lot where I wouldn't have to turn, and put it in 4 and drive in a straight line. I guess I was just trying to run things through. But it never did what it's doing now. Never did it before the lift. So I was going towards the lift binding. Maybe I've got something else going on. By-the-way, this is driving in a straight line. When winter hits up here, most turns will be snow/ice.

Well, up here it seems to snow and look great, then a few hours later it gets up into the upper 30's. Then you're mainly on snow and ice, but start hitting patches of asphalt. I still have another 1" to go on the lift, I've got to re-index the T-bars. I just don't want to go any higher if I'm creating a bind. If that's what it is.

Got a 3 inch lift last year, weird things happen when I'm on dry pavement in 4. Pulls to the side-by-side. This weekend I'm lowering the front back down a bit to see if the issue goes away. I'm assuming it's the CV's binding. Probably not a good thing! If that's the case, does anyone know of a good set of high articulation axles I can throw up front? Thanks!

Well, I'm planning on doing the relay mod. It's hard to troubleshoot something when it's only broke on the first start of the morning when I'm trying to get to work. Once started, it works fine the rest of the day. I guess I could try getting up at 3am, I just don't think I'll be able to get the wife out there to turn the key though. I'd probably get shot before I could get out of the house. I'll find out if the mod helps. I've tried the relay in front of the windshield washer. I'm not sure if that's the only one or not. I know nothing happens when that relay is out when you turn the key.

Thank you so much, I'll give it a try.

Oh yeah, when it doesn't want to start. If I just keep trying a few times, it will finally turn over. That's why I'm thinking I have a bad switch or relay, not starter this time.

On the auto's, the starter relay is located fwd left fender just behind the air box. Is this correct? I've got the same problem. It only happens to me when it's cold - 20 degrees. Then it's fine the rest of the day. Or it's fine if it's been sitting in the sun for a few hours. Not sure what to do on this one. I want to find out what it is before I tackle another starter, the first time sucked. Any help would be great!

Where did you get the roof rack, I really need/like that one and I like the way it looks.

Thanks everyone. I'll have to do some shopping over the weekend.

Rancho RS5000 series only seems to be for a 2.5" lift, which is probably what I'll have with the quoted 3" lift. It just seems to be cutting it close. Anybody know if that'll be ok or not?

Are you happy with them?
