And your food to go. If it is anything more than that, then you are out of my league.
Thanks for the reply. Does that mean I need to replace the transfer case lube before driving it 13 miles in 4wd? Also - I mean the bearings in the back. The U-joint clamps around them. I wish it were just the U-joint. That would be too easy.

I don't know about the t case fluid, I would probably drain it and fill it with the right amount, because you don't know how much you have lost, and you don't want to over fill it. I am having a hard time understanding what is broken, do you have pics? And I can't believe one of the more knowledgable guys haven't chimed in yet.

I feel if op doesn't know how to use a lift maybe he shouldn't try. Or read the owners manual.

My left signal light burnt out last week, I replaced the bulb and now none of them work. Even the signal light indicator lights on the instrument cluster are not illuminating when I try to signal. I checked the fuse, and it looks good, I have no idea whats going on. Can you guys help me out?

Default Rear track bar hanging up
I recently installed a 4in adjustable Rough Country lift on my 93 Grand Cherokee and today driving home I hit a considerably large pot hole (gotta love MI) and heard a clunk from the rear end. When I got home I looked underneath and noticed that the track bar is now resting on top of the fuel tank skid plate. The kit said to flip the control arm over after installing the new mount. My question is should I have not flipped it over or should I try bending up the skid plate so it moves freely? Also has anyone ever run into this problem before? I have searched with no luck so far of anyone haveing this problem maybe you can help. Thanks again, Kevin (Phindolf)

So I blew a hole in my radiator, would a radiator out of an XJ work for a ZJ with the 4.0?
