Anybody got some links for reading up on a transfer case drop kit? Thinking it would bring down driveline angle but wondering what it would do to the transmission since the trans mount is attached to the crossmember?

So-called "transfer case drops" tilt the engine, transmission, and transfer case by several degrees. Motor mounts wear out faster, and the front double-cardan joint works harder. They're really not a good idea but can work for a little while.

no lift yet, Perfect. Read nothing on TC drops. Invest in A future SYe. You can read up on those now instead. Either a Hack and tack one, or a full SYE.

Pulled over this morning to find out why I was smelling gas. Turns out gas was leaking through my first fuel injector. Hoeing to swap out all of them just to be safe. Any recommendations on different or better fuel injectors to upgrade to?
Btw it's a 1989 xj

Odd question, I know... but I am heavily considering the IAT relocation modification. Catch is that apparently this mod makes for some way rich and crap running when the weather is cold. I want to have two IAT sensors, one at the air box, and one in the stock location.
Given my affinity for awesome switches and a panel I need to fill up plus the fact that I am a lazy fat guy, is there a way to have a switch spliced into the harness to choose between the winter and summer IAT's rather than just extend the wiring. Would a splice like this alter the resistance of the signal or anything?
Thanks!
