I might get away with just cutting the tab and re welding it, its two far gone

No need for it on the street unless its a very badly damaged street needing to crawl and creep over obsticals at low speeds. You do not need to stop to shift to or from 4x4. Just let off the pedal, shift and get back on the pedal.
You need to stop to change between 4L and 4H. I will simply stick with 4H, which can be engaged/released on the fly. Thanks.

Hay all...

I am working on getting things ready for 33 or 35 tires and I can't seem to find an answer for my worries...

How do you all keep snow, salt and mud out of the little space between the inner and outer fenders near the door area? I will have to remove the plastic liner when I start cutting and I really don't want to rot the front doors out where the wires go through.

Is the clockpspring really easier if I have a helper? Or does it not matter? I read a post where someone said it's a pain without 2 people. True?

Would some JB weld hold or atleast "restrict" a crack in my header so i can run my jeep through emissions?

I doubt it will currently pass because its a pretty bad leak at the header near the downpipe. Also my gas mileage is horrible from it.

Worth a shot, put it on when the header is stone cold, and try and clean the surface.
