Those are some gnarly trails, DTB & Toyminator. I don't think my trucks paint would've liked those trails much. You're getting duals DTB?? Sweet.

Inittowinit, do you still want to do a DVD with music that I have permission to use and sell? I can create everything all I need is the master DVD to burn more copies off of. I can send you the music files that I have permission to use also. Ill Valley, NIL8, Morbid Angel, Genitorturers, L7, and Donita Sparks are all on board.

Yea, well I need SOMEONE to come over and help me drop it down.....I dont have a tranny jack...

just a regular jack under the tail housing....

anyone have a tip for dropping a tranny/t-case down by them selves? I'm not the biggest guy in the world.....also, I had both my arms reconstructed so I dont have lots of arm strength

eh? what about something to lower it down through the shifter hole? I'm just brainstorming outloud here

tom w. · « **Reply #1120 on:** Mar 16, 2008, 08:43:09 AM »

Unbolt the transfercase from the tranny and drop them seperately. The transfercase only weighs like 60lbs.

I just had my tranny propped up, and used the floor jack to hold the transfercase up (while I balanced it) and set it down.

Don't you have any neighborhood kids willing to make $10?

tcase weighs more like 80 pounds

Collier, dont try it by yourself, you need to get James or Ezra also, you can open the doors , put a ratchet strap thru the cab, and back under the tranny, this will keep it from hitting you in the head

also a atv or motorcycle jack works well also

skipnrocks · « **Reply #1123 on:** Mar 16, 2008, 09:14:14 AM »

Another thing you can do is put a pillow on the ground and unbolt it till it falls!!

LOL

You're right Glen. I guess I'm just more of a badass than I thought...

Jordan7118 · « **Reply #1125 on:** Mar 16, 2008, 07:56:05 PM »

Collier, you can use a ratchet strap around the tranny while you unbolt the t-case.

I used a cherry picker / engine hoist through the shifter hole to lower it all down at the same time. I think I would go with the piece by piece method, though, and remove the t-case first.

When putting your duals in, I'd use a cherry picker, as you can't really separate as well the combo.

Glad to hear you're making some progress

do it separatly DTB... im 5'8" and 120lbs... you can get the Tcase by yourself... and then lower the tranny with the jack.... you can have that done in 30min.

Redbeard1 · « **Reply #1127 on:** Mar 16, 2008, 08:05:22 PM »

Just do it like I do... get on the creeper lay a sheet of narrow plywood on your chest , roll under it with knees under the transfer case and arms under the bell housing, push up and rearward and slow lower it on to your chest... then simply slide it down the ply wood to the floor between your legs.. works in a pinch...

oh one more thing do not ever try this with an SM465 and a NP205

THK Matt · « **Reply #1128 on:** Mar 16, 2008, 08:06:30 PM »

drain all the fluid... all the weight you can take off. the better.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #1129 on:** Mar 16, 2008, 08:23:11 PM »

Let the air out of your tires.

I use the ratchet strap method, one on the front one on the tcase and a floor jack in th middle.

i tried that... damn what a PITA.. having 35s was nice to be able to crawl underneath and be able to practically sit up

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #1131 on:** Mar 16, 2008, 08:36:33 PM »

But it is sure a long ways to the ground up that high.

THK Matt · « **Reply #1132 on:** Mar 16, 2008, 08:39:36 PM »

i had the tranny and tcase back in... that way... in 10 minutes.

hella easy

DTB · « **Reply #1133 on:** Mar 17, 2008, 05:45:15 AM »

Well I got under there and looked last night......unbolting the tranny from the t-case just looks like waaaay too much work....I'm just gonna wait for an unsuspecting visitor

You need to entice us a little bit. Maybe some

or chicks showing

and

. At least have Dirtoygirl hand us tools in a bikini or something

So is the G58 different than my W56? Cause there was only six bolts holding mine together.

when i was 17 i had a 3/4 ton 1980 chevy, and did just what you said, only without the plywood, rolled under on the creeper, held it up brother pulled the crossmember out, i pushed up and back , let it down on my chest and rolled out with it all laying on my chest and stomach, but when i rolled it off me, the tranny pinned my right hand, still got a nice scar over that knuckle

but then maybe thats why im like i am now
