Thanks, that very well may be my issue. Do you think lingering in "N" could give me that impossible shift/grind?

Thanks! I'll check it out.

I've tried to go from 4L back to 4H in neutral (Transmission) and it still had the same grinds. I'll fidget with it a bit more and see if I can get a little more info either way. Thanks for the help though I am very new to having a manual 4WD...

I just bought my 1st Pathfinder (96 SE) and I wanted to just pick everyone's brain on here for some advice to put me in the right direction. Now, I'm pretty handy but I am NO mechanic so sorry up front. I wouldn't consider myself into the extreme off-road but I do like to camp and plan to make this my 'off the beaten path' vehicle. I notice sway when I drive at decent speeds (50mph+) from the suspension but I want to lift about 2" to allow for some bigger tires if anyone had any suggestions on where to start for springs/shocks I want to get a tube bumper replacement (Like the ARB ones) but I noticed on ARB that they say 1999-2005 for the R50 full bull bar-bumpers so I'm not sure if it will fit My 4x4 seems to engage into 4H just fine, then I can get it past neutral and into 4L but I can't get it past neutral into 4H or 2 without turning the car off and putting it back into either 4H or 2. (It just grinds and won't go through) I'm looking for a good sized roof rack with probably a mesh cover to hold a lot of my camping things since I have 2 dogs that take up quite a bit of room in the back while traveling. Also I'm open for any other suggestions with storage and anything overall.
