With the engine not running, turn the headlights on.

I think one of my uncles said it was most likely the axle that broke, since this Jeep has apparently broken a few axles back in the day.
History of breaking axles?
Would different (not matched) gear ... |

Maybe if I take the spider off and turn it around it may line up better?

I haven't seen his jeep (or photos) and don't know exactly what he's dealing with, but yes, I agree, there's lots of options.
