Steve- do you have air tools??  If not, we can do your work in my shop.  I'm about 20 min. from Groton, but I would be closer for Paul to come help. I also have a welder, a ton of power tools, a couple of floor jacks, jack stands..... basically I should have everything we would need.

Hey Kirk, I do have all the air tools. 
Thank you for the offer to use your house.  I'd like to do it at my house just in case I cant finish it or I run into any problems(NAPA, AZ are just down the street).  Plus I'm going to start late monday night painting the rails with POR15 and possibly start getting it prepped for Tues morn (I plan on jumping on it around 7am).  I'll have to leave the Jeep and drive the Truck loaded with all the goodies.

If you have air tools that will make things much easier.   ;)  What year is your TJ?  In 2000 (???) Jeep added a harmonic dampener to the end of the transfer case, and it requires 3 metric size bolts to pull it.

I believe the largest hole I have to drill something like 29/32 or something ridiculous like that then there is a slightly smaller than that

then a drill with a 1/2" chuck should be alright.
