I think the biggest problem by lookingat those pics is the wheel offset. Something with a little less offset will be a lot better, especuially when turning. id definately agree with that. the tyres on ur old rims will give u the proper offset, i wouldnt think 33s would scrub when turning with the ...

they actually appear bigger than 33!

as for where they rub when turning, looking at how close to the guards they are it looks like if u went over so much as a decent bump it will scrub badly.

you will need to do a 2in susp liftat least.

is the dash showing it is in 4wd mode?

check the wiring to the difflock pump, try to force it to start, id expect it would be a predictable wiring format.

the reversing thing shouldnt affect the pump getting power, it should help it properly engage.
