Check and adjust your linkage going to the transfer case. That is a common problem.

I saw some people wondering rather to buy a car or continue driving their jeep daily so I drew up a little comparitive analysis lol. Jeep with 1500 worth of new parts and 13 mpgs vs. a 3000 car that gets 30 mpgs. On 5000 in savings I could go 8.5 months in my Jeep and if I bought the car I could go 16. Im seriously considering the car now lol

not a ricer with 30mpgs. maybe the beginnings of a project that could become a vehicle with 30 mpgs. unless you find a sweet azz deal on CL.
