Anyone have a shot of their t case in reference to how its supposed to be clocked on the trans. I marked it before I pulled it to get rebuilt but the shop hot tanked it and I lost my mark. I only want to put it back in once. Its in now but i think the front output is too low.

Pickle forked it. Thanks for the replies though! Sorry again about the upside down pic. I even flipped it on my phone before uploading.
I did get the press from Advanced, but I didn't know they had different kits.

Interesting. I'll have to file that one away for later

No, I don't lick fish.
This isn't really jeep related but i got a little LED light that I want to use for when I need a light under the hood out on the trails. It's got an AC adapter on it and I was wondering if I can just cut it off and crimp it to the DC adapter. Is this safe? Or will I need a fire extinguisher? Attachment 279078 LED Light Attachment 279079 LED Light + and - Attachment 279080 LED Light original wiring for AC Adapter Attachment 279081 The DC Adapter I'm wanting to wire to the LED light.
Simple way to test this... start your jeep (don't just turn the key on, start it to get it to operating voltage), plug in the DC plug to your 12v outlet or ciggy lighter port, then test the wires with a voltmeter. If the output of the plug is between 10-11 volts, you should be fine. Obviously, if it's anwhere OVER 11, don't run it, but also, if it's below 10, your LEDs are going to flicker and/or operate dimmer than otherwise. If it's LOWER than 10v, don't use it at all... you're better off just searching eBay or an electronics shop for a 10v DC adapter for your car. It will then already have the correct amount of resistance in it.

hmmm... I saw that some studs are long enough you have to take the hub off anyways to get them in. Is that true on the Dana30 on the ZJ? The Timpken hubs are ~$74 on Amazon and some others are $42...Pretty much everywhere I could find says just get the Timkens, are there other decent options?(IDK how long I'll stay with the D30)
Edit: I have the front one already sitting in the garage ready to go on.

You may have made a wise choice by just wiring the original plug back up UNTIL you do more research. What you're attempting to do IS possible if you go about it the right way and honestly, I would encourage you to try. The fact that the DC adapter that you have has resistors inside it indicate that it MAY output a reduced voltage for whatever that DC plug was originally intended (I'm assuming a cell phone charger). Simple way to test this... start your jeep (don't just turn the key on, start it to get it to operating voltage), plug in the DC plug to your 12v outlet or ciggy lighter port, then test the wires with a voltmeter. If the output of the plug is between 10-11 volts, you should be fine. Obviously, if it's anwhere OVER 11, don't run it, but also, if it's below 10, your LEDs are going to flicker and/or operate dimmer than otherwise.

Anybody ever put the alternator/AC bracket that's on the YJ and put it on an XJ? It would make the alternator much higher on the engine and will still keep the AC. Here are some pics of a YJ 4.0 I got off the internet. It looks to use all the same bolt holes that the XJ brackets use too.

XJ 2.5L bracket also works
Are you planning to run a center mech fan or dual electric?

You won't be able to use the stock cooling setup with the YJ bracket.
The stock XJ setup has the mech fan nub/pulley on the A/C bracket.
The YJ (and ZJ/TJ/WJ) uses a single fan on the water pump in the center, and their A/C bracket doesn't have a pulley for the offset fan. That's how the alternator goes higher, it is where the XJ fan pulley is usually located.

Also, I replace my exhaust manifold the other day on my 93 XJ. The date in the block was a 96. So apparently the PO put a different block in there and I have no idea how many miles are on it. Anyways. Are there any difference between the 93 and 96 4.0 motor? Just wondering.
