So I installed the Boostwerks 231 tc linkage on a 01 XJ and can't seem to get it right.
At first I had it stretched out pretty far and it wouldn't go into 4 low. So I tightened it up some and now it thumps when I roll like it is in between 2 wd and 4 high but the part time light is not on.
I have it set up in the middle hole on the tc side like in the pic below.
This is on a salvage I have been working on for a year to get back on the road.
I have the Jeep sold and they want it this weekend.
What I ended up doing is making my roommate sit in the driver's seat manually shifted into 4-hi, and bolted it up.
Then we ran through the positions, made some minor adjustments, and it feels great. Super crisp shifts, positive engagement at speed (2-hi to 4-hi), and a huge improvement overall
The actual indicator light never works though, and most of the time it will just flash at me which is super annoying. I could probably get it dialed in with another turn to tighten it, putting more pressure on the shift indicator sensor, but I haven't gotten around to doing so

Make sure you test the shifts "on-the-go". I was having issues with engagement while I was at speed (into 4-hi), but I adjusted the linkage 1 or 2 turns and it was perfect after that.
