Pulled the transfercase tonight, took about an hour and 30 minutes of that I was on the phone talking. Looks like the holes from my trans mount need some serious attention. Maybe nut on the top?

I think it's good now... Transfer case is back in, driving with front driveshaft because the back wouldn't even collapse it pull it out so I had to beat it with a hammer... Took a nap under my jeep because I got really tired and lazy. Tapped the holes and now has 5/8" bolts for the trans mount.

yeah, wasn't too bad probably could've done it quicker. Now I'm waiting on a tom woods driveshaft for the rear, and I still don't know what to do for the front, I can take it to a shop and get it checked out, buy a custom one or buy a stock replacement. Not sure where to go.

Drove it back to college today (fwd sucks btw) a lot quieter and less vibrations but I can't wait to get my rear driveshaft in and then I guess I'll ordered one for the front too.

Lmao I don't know if you remember me from the other thread.. But wow. We live the same life. I've had both axles regeared, both driveshafts rebuilt, replaced all mounts, angles are within spec, sye installed, and still can't figure out vibration. I'm about to buy another jeep and say f it. Sorry if I crashed your thread but you can relate how 'annoying' this is....

Picture with one tire up. Another person in the group got some better picture of my jeep on a few trails, but she hasn't posted them up yet. When she posts them I'll post some.
