I don't see any way for me to have done that. They're pretty well protected

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, anything is possible with a Jeep except saving money. Worth a look, even dust can do it. Could have just shocked the sensor enough to cause a failure, especially if it’s a 23 year old electronic anything.

I'm doing brakes and calipers tomorrow, so everything is getting cleaned up. Can't afford a speed sensor right now and it's not affecting how it drives so I'll just wait on that and see if the cleaning and brake job fix it.

Bunch of 4-liter ZJs have them, or you can scavenge them from any XJ or TJ in the yard.
So I can just use the stock ones from my Wrangler? I know it's the same front axle I just wasn't sure. That would definitely eliminate the last weak point.

Yes you can. I’ve done this with every one of my ZJs that didn’t come with them. Usually base model 4-liters, the Limiteds and V8s always had the 249 cases and they put the CVs in to reduce bonding with the full time AWD

I wrapped up putting the lift on finally and got my wheels and tires switched over from the Wrangler for the tahuya run this Saturday. Only have before pictures since I finished with a flashlight.

Did you swap t-cases by chance? The older 249s (93-95) have a creep issue with the VC inside, they’ll move feet overnight if parked on an incline when it goes bad.

No I haven't swapped the case yet and probably wont for a while. Close to 300k miles and I park it on an incline every night

You’re one of the lucky ones.

Somewhere I’ve got a pile of spares for that 318 if you ever need stuff.

Thanks a ton. Lord knows at some point I'll need it. It's been the most reliable highileage car Ive ever owned though. I just need to get the speedometer working right so those miles are counted

Here's the after shots. I took it down the hill and everything seems fine. 2 inch lift and from 29 inch tires to 31's. No rubbing as far as I can tell.
