ok, it looks like 4lo is working. Thank you for the advice. The 02 wrangler must have been geared alot higher because this xj walks down my hills where I would give the wrangler gas because it crawled so slow 
 I would still be happy to have anyone close by stop over and assess this vehicle. It does need brake work and it looks like some lines are not properly routed.
 Bonus for stopping by. I have a jeep trail cut by Charlie and Ted.

I am thinking this xj wasn't wheeled because the paint looks original (with no scrapes), no lift, regular size tires (with worn tread). It looks like a previous owner was more interested in upgrading the stereo - as there is wiring for an amplifier and speakers...lol
 A salesperson at Advance Auto Parts suggested checking the fluid levels in the transfer case and looking through the Haynes manual I bought yesterday.
 I imagine the 4x4 bulb is blown. I checked all the fuses.
 My dome light doesn't work either but I doubt it's related.

The light doesn't come on for 4hi or 4lo. I have a feeling it goes into 4hi though. The auto transmission has to be in neutral for me to even pull the lever into 4lo (it won't go in park). I have no idea what the issue could be. I'm pretty sure the Wrangler had higher gears. Could it just be linkage?

The Wrangler was an 02 sport. The difference in downhill crawling is night and day. Also, no 4x4 light comes on the instrument panel. I would love to have someone knowledgeable take a look at it. I live in East York. Charlie and Ted were here one day cutting a trail in my woods.

I just bought a 99 xj Sport and was testing low 4x4 in my yard and it doesnt crawl like my wrangler did. I had it in drive. Should I have put it in 1st gear for the crawl effect or might there be something wrong ?

I forget how to change the time on my stereo. 
 I have a 2002 Wrangler Sport with a factory CD/Cassette player.
 Does anybody know or remember what buttons to push to get in the clock time change mode?
