This past Wednesday my Transfer Case decided to commit suicide and something grenade inside it. Huge hole in it and cracked the case all the way around. Also lost my rear drive shaft. And ruined the rear diff yolk. All of this happened at about 60 mph.

Yesterday a friend from the MD thread, Jakbob, and I swapped a new case in. But before that xjclassicxj from the MD thread helped me install an SYE in the new case. Now everything is nearly finished, just need to put my drive shaft in and test it out.

What a huge difference an SYE makes. The ride is so smooth now. I cant believe it. Im so used to vibs from the past 6 months. Lol.
My check engine light is on too. Went to advance auto and its because my speedo isnt working. The plugs on my TC's were different so i have to swap them soon.

The jeep has taken a turn for the worst. I can no longer deal with daily driving it. The holes in the floor are not holes, but my entire floor. It goes up and down the unibody rails and is over my rear hatch. The rail above the rear bumper is also rusting quickly.
At this point, its time for another jeep. I will hopefully be parting this jeep out starting as soon as i buy another one. Going to look at one on wednesday night. But thats top secret.

Final update:
Parted the Jeep out in about a quick 3 weeks. Still trying to sell some parts.
The body was scrapped last week.
I now drive a blue 98 cherokee.
