Still finishing up the track bar mount. Should have that done tomorrow.
I also rebuilt the transfer case and modified the shift rails. To do that, the WHOLE thing has to come apart. I decided to grind the front shift rail so that it could do a front dig with the rear in neutral, and not have the chance to get the gears crossed up between hi and lo range during the heat of battle. This is not my idea, but there is plenty of info on it out there. PM me if you want to know what I did.
Here is a pic of the modified shift rail. I did weld a little to the low detent to make it harder to inadvertently pop out of low.
The transfer case was a mixture of T and J shift parts. I used the J shift front output (it does not have a snap ring retainer and is easier to work on), J shift case, T shift low gears as they are a lower ratio, T shift rails, J shift output yokes, and C-4 auto input. It was a lot of work but will hopefully be worth it.
