Can anyone tell me on which Jimny models the 4wheel drive selection changed from manual lever to electronic switches?
I am interested in the manual version and need to know where to start looking.

They are OK all the time they work, its when a pipe splits that the problems start, as it will no longer engage the hub. The pipes are replaceable but can be a pain to do

Surely the vacuum hubs will be fine if they are well maintained and checked correctly
