Just lifted my Jeep. now I cant get into 4wd
Hey guys, quick question.
Now that I have lifted my 02 TJ, I cannot get my t-case to go into 4wd (or
neutral for that matter). The guy who did the lift at the offroad shop said
it was a simple fix with a 13mm wrench, but he is not ehre today and I was
wondering if i could do it myself.
Any ideas?

Re: Just lifted my Jeep. now I cant get into 4wd
You can absolutely do it yourself... Chock up the wheels, apply the E-brake
and make sure she isn't gonna move. Then crawl under there w/ the 13mm
wrench. Have someone sit in the jeep and move the t-case shifter. You'll see
the bracket and bolt you need to adjust moving/ The adjustment is REALLY
easy once you see what it's doing.
It's kinda tough to explain where the lever is, which is why I say have
someone move the t-case shifter while you look.
Loosen that bolt, move it to where it needs to be and tighten it back up.
Take it for a spin down the block and see if you got it right... (you
probably will).

I'm go look for a picture...

Re: Just lifted my Jeep. now I cant get into 4wd
Wow youre a lifesaver! Thanks a bunch. Im going out there right now to do
it!
Before I purchased the lift I wouldnt have had any confidence to do this
myself. When it was being installed at the shop, I helped the guy out
because I wanted to learn (not to mention he was giving me a discount on
labor). Im just an 18 year old kid that should know more about my Jeep. I
saved my money since Feb. for this thing and the last few days have been the
best learning experience for me.
Now for another question: Is it possible to purchase an adjustable rear
trac bar? I need to adjust it cause the drivers side rear tire is rubbing
on the coil spring just a little when i hit bumps and such. The reason for
this is mainly because I am using the stock wheels, which I shouldnt be
(they are the next thing on my list once I get the money).
Thanks a bunch guys!
