I'm wondering if the vacuum disconnect can be made manual? I think I saw an article awhile back but I cant seem to find it now. The advantage to this would be that there wouldnt be a question about whether or not the 4wd disconnected when the lever is moved. This might just be a newbie question but I'm trying to learn jeeps after 10 years of mustang building.

 

you can make it full time. or put a cable in place of the vacuum accuator

 

I dont want it full time 4wd as most of my driving is on the street, I also want to have 4-high and 4-low. How do you replace the vacuum with a cable and how is it actuated?

 

cable conversion... google... also even sell the kit on ebay... did minefor $20 worth of JY parts...

 

Here this should help you out

google "posi-lock" they are all over the place. it replaces your vacuum acuator a **** and cable is mounted in the caband runs to the axle. when you put your rig in 4wd, you then pull the **** to engage the front axle. this is good as well because you can engage 4lo and leave it the front axle disengaged for 2 wheel low.

If its the 94 in your profile, you dont have to worry about it.. They stopped using vac disconnect in 91

 

Yes its the 94, I didnt know they changed it, I thought all XJ's were vac disco.

 

your from milly? im coming to sleep at your house when i come play on the trails k? lol

 

The only trails I know of are the kaolin mine roads, but they can be exciting after a good rain.......or the snow last weekend!

 

Nope, they got rid of it. You have a straight axle with no disconnect.
