So I take it there is one?

Speed sensor in the front diff makes a junk yard front axle conversion... not likely.

What year KJ? Makes a difference for the speedo.If you have a '02-'05 KJ then the speedo is controlled via the speed sensor on the rear diff and I have a fix for that if you do not want to keep the weak 8.25 in the rear but means you must change the t-case also.If your unlucky enough to have a '06 or '07 KJ then your SOL as it uses the ABS speed sensors which there are 4(1 on each wheel).Your going to spend some $$$(or be stuck with weak parts) to keep ABS if you have that also and if you choose to delete ABS you must tell your insurance company for legal reasons.

I'm worried about how the transfer case disperses power. If it operates off of a speed sensor in the front diff, then you can't throw in a junk yard axle.

For the 02-05 is there one in the front diff also? For the 06 plus, where are they at each wheel?

'02-'05 the speed sensor is in the rear diff,'02-'05's with ABS have ABS wheel speed sensors on each front wheels that do not have anything to do with the speedo."06 and '07 KJ's have a speed sensor on each wheel.

No speed sensor in the front diff.The t-case in a KJ is mechanically operated and has zero effect on the speedo and the speedo has zero effect on the t-case.

Sweet, thank you. Nice rig! I've seen pics of it before.
