Ah, that would explain it... I had been looking at the differential housing
itself for a clue instead of outside on the axle tubes... plus I was looking
from the front, so I didn't see that vacuum motor-ish thingy hiding away.
So I jacked up one wheel, started the car, and put it into 4WD... this
seemed to do the trick, I was able to spin the wheel and subsequently rotate
the driveshaft. Two turns of the wheel and I got a 3.07 ratio, which is
excellent news for me. Thanks again to everyone who helped me sort this
out!
I still need to yank the current speedo gear and see what's up with that,
but if that's why it's wrong I have to wonder how the wrong gear got put in
there. If they swapped in a new transfer case and/or transmission, I hope
that isn't a recipe for disaster... like if they put in parts that were
originally meant for a smaller engine Jeep if it's the kind of thing where
they won't survive behind the 4.0L for very long. Hopefully that's not the
case, but I suppose looking at the speedo gear might give a clue.
Especially if it's a gear for one of the other factory ratios that were
available, maybe the entire transfer case was swapped out including the old
speedo sender and replaced with one originally in a smaller engine Jeep.
Eventually I'll get to the bottom of this, but for now it's good to know
that the 4WD functionality is still there. Thanks again, everyone!

Re: Speedo wrong, but is that all?
I wouldn't worry about the transfer being replaced, just that it
doesn't leak.
Go ahead and pull the speedometer drive gear and check the number of
teeth against the chart at: http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoSpeedoGears.htm
for your 3.07 ratio and tires size.

Re: Speedo wrong, but is that all?
Now wait until the lines rot and fall off - you'll have to remember
where they are <g>. The tc should be the same regardless of engine -
NP231 - and the tranny will be an AX15. Since the only reasonable
replacements (no one would be stupid enough to put a Puegot BA 10/5
back in - besides, they are harder to find) would be the AX5 which
will mess up the drive shaft length, it's a pretty good bet you have
the aforementioned parts. To much trouble and labor to swap them.

where they are <g>. The tc should be the same regardless of engine -
NP231 - and the tranny will be an AX15. Since the only reasonable
replacements (no one would be stupid enough to put a Puegot BA 10/5
back in - besides, they are harder to find) would be the AX5 which
will mess up the drive shaft length, it's a pretty good bet you have
the aforementioned parts. To much trouble and labor to swap them.

Re: Speedo wrong, but is that all?
Ok, so after some more dabbling, it's a safe bet the speedo gear was WAY
wrong... for a 3.07 gear ratio with tires that were somewhere between 28 and
29 inches, the charts I have found say I should have maybe a 29 tooth gear
in there. Or maybe a 30, it just sort of depends on whose chart I consult.
However, there was a 37 tooth gear in there! I have NO idea why that would
be. I do think the transfer case was probably swapped during the repair,
since the normal patina of filth covering everything else seems to stop at
exactly all the edges of the transfer case. But why this gear was in
there... that one just escapes me.
Does anyone know if it'd be possible to do a transfer case swap and actually
put on a case meant for a smaller engine, thus creating reliability
problems? I hope not, because it would mean all that's left to do now is
order the correct gear. Thanks again, everyone!
