UPDATE!!!
The lift is done! Thought I would never say that. The brakes are replaced. Ended going with the pre-cut for convenience only due to my lack of any kind of time. Next is the SYE. Now I have done this 2 other times but for some reasone I can not get the the rear part of the T-case off. I am doing this while it is still under the Jeep. I know I know, it is easier to do this with the T-case removed. Unfortunetly I can not remove the skid plate at this point in time. The bolts holding it on are freakin allen heads. I have twisted the 3 8MM allens that I had. Just decided to move on. So my question is this...is there anything else I need to remove or disconnect to get that damn thing off? Tail housing is off (and snap ring), speed gear removed, all bolts removed. I am running out of ideas. I am phoning any and all friends. Please help! I want to drive this damn Jeep before the summer is over!!! Anyway here she is all lifted. Really makes the wife look short.

I know this may sound stupid, but did you get all the bolts out? If I remeber right there is one on the top that sits back further then the others. Besides that, a 20+ year old transfercase is not going to seperate easy. Just make sure you pry it at the designted spots or you cane split the aluminum. I have done several and I have done them in and out of the Jeep. I personally think it is easier in the Jeep since holding the transfercase down isn't the easiest thing when trying to touque the bolts.
Jeep looks really good, caint wait to see it on the trail.

So, got the T-Case done...ish. Everything is together, finally!!! took it out of the driveway and started going up the road. Then it happened. Sounded like one of the gears slipped out of place. So after a very thorough recollection of the events leading up today I started going through the directions again. To me it sounded like I said, the gears slipped out of place. And what might you ask holds the gears in place normally? A snap ring. Well, after going through the directions I noticed that no where in them did it say anything about placing a snap ring back in. I was very miticulous with following the directions. So much so that I think I forgot to use common sense. Sure enough, the infamous snap ring is sitting on my oil catch can where I put it. GREAT!!! Now I get to take it all apart again and figure out where the damn ring is supposed to go. Ed...I blame you! 4 wheel drive worked great, just the whole gears moving around thing. Story of my life. But hey, I moved it so that is good...right?
