Thanks so much for your help and clarification, Jerry. Btw, how much if any play should there be in the front diff? I can wiggle the front drive shaft rotationally and very slightly laterally.That'd be a great idea.

That was my thought...should I just wait to address it with the regear or is it a more immediate concern?Rotational play is absolutely both normal and required. That's the backlash mentioned above which allows proper lubrication between the gears. Lateral play is something else which is not normal. Could be caused by a bad pinion bearing, less likely by a pinion nut that loosened.
Depends on how far off the regear is and if you have any trips or wheeling coming up. I'd lean towards waiting until the regear but...That was my thought...should I just wait to address it with the regear or is it a more immediate concern?
Just made the decision to regear tonight after our convo. So, I need to find a reputable shop in Dayton Ohio area to do the work before I know how far off the regear is. With that said, I can lay off long trips and wheeling for the immdeiate future and just keep to daily city driving. Any issue with that?Depends on how far off the regear is and if you have any trips or wheeling coming up. I'd lean towards waiting until the regear but...
I'd chance it based on that minimized usage.Just made the decision to regear tonight after our convo.

Thanks a ton. No 4wd for now lol.I'd chance it based on that minimized usage.
Not to beat a dead horse , but with an automatic you can focus on the obstacles and not have the distraction of keeping the engine alive ...that is huge.That's true... I have a manual and you can spend a lot of time shifting and clutching while the guy with the automatic is just smoothly laying it down.
No they're not typically "gutless turds". I live in California and my 5.38 gears were absolutely the cure for my TJ's lack of power and poor mpg. And if you had driven a TJ with 5.38 gears, especially with the 4-speed automatic as I have you'd know instantly it's the right ratio for the freeway and highways too.That's typical they are gutless turds. Gears are not a solution in Cali because you spend a lot of time on the freeway and if 4.10 can't turn 35s then that is sad. Very sad. My truck has no problem smoking all 4 38/20s not a jeep though. I can't own something with such little power. I just borrowed one and asked the net if this is truly haw lame they are only to find out yes this is all there is. Pitiful vehicle
