Does the 4x4 button and dash light go out when you press the button?

You need to first use the 4x4 Troubleshooting Guide to help determine what's wrong. The hubs come into play ONLY after the T-case has been successfully shifted into 4x4 (4x4 will be illuminated in the dash) https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/4x4-troubleshooting-guide.202166/

I would suggest you start with the 4x4 troubleshooting guide. https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/4x4-troubleshooting-guide.202166/

Glad the thread was helpful. Good Idea about the lithium grease 👍

I would poke a hole where the Yellow arrow is pointing to run low current wires into the cabin. I assume you want to run the low voltage Trigger wire (#85) from the Fog relay mounted near the battery.

I lucked out and found one in a bone yard near me. Not too many around these days.

Fuses either work or they are blown and don't. As such there is no need to replace a working fuse with another working fuse.

Junkyard or I would heat up PVC pipe and mold into shape.

Damn... that ABS Hydraulic unit is a mess. I didn't think it could rust so badly.

That plastic stop on the gear selector was toast.

Very Nice. One step at a time is the way to go.

Sorry to hear that.. It is always sad to see one you've had for a long time go..

I agree with @JustinGibson. 3.27 with an automatic and 33s are barely okay on flat ground. They will be terrible going up hills and doing any kind of off-roading. When I got my 33s I had 3.27's for a week or so before I could re-gear to 4.10s. With an automatic transmission I had zero power...

Very clean survivor you have there.. :)

The link to the 4x4 trouble shooting guide on Post #6 has lots of information and pictures of the various components and locations. Is this what you are looking for?
