Swap of the xfer case is pretty much complete. I still need a shifter knob a console to hide the cut up carpet and replace connectors to match for the 4HI and 4LO senosrs. Here are some pics of the swap.

Starting on the left: tundra stock xfer case, taco xfer case i recently acquired, rebuilt xfer case with bad shifter.

Drilled a hole to locate the start of the shifter opening. Used a sabre saw and a sawzall to cut the opening.

Everything bolted up from underneath. 4LO, 4HI and ADD connectors hanging. Need to replace the connectors to allow the connection to the taco sensors. ADD setup will later be removed.

Shifter installed. Need to find a shifter boot and knob to complete the swap.

Otherwise, everything works. Need to get use to shifting gears in park and/or nuetral. Edit - I tested 4HI on the fly and it works as long as my front hubs are turning to allow the same rotational speed of the front/rear driveshaft. It's nice to have 4LO again!!!

Now I need to test everything all long with the winch. :devil:

Hey, how much did that transfer case cost you? And do you have hydraulic assist on your truck?
