Not sure if it rusted up or a common problem.. googled it and looked here and find anything.. wanting to enjoy my new jeep ,but its killing me.. guess I really need some help.. wanna do some new tires too.. lift as well.. any good sites to get off road parts for the without turning it into a rock climber? Thanx guys..

It takes some wiggling sometimes
Just move the lever in the zigzag pattern that is shown.
And mine was "stiff" the first time too lol

Make sure your transmission is in Neutral and then try and put the T-case in 4lo, it might take some effort if it hasn't been done in awhile. Don't drive in 4lo on the pavement.
