I’d go but the jeep has to go to the shop still. Pretty sure the axle tubes are bent
I can't make it this weekend but it should be a nice one to go!

Rowdy, still fixing stuff since November. Went off the trail into a rock garden due to ice. I hate welding housing so I’m having someone else do that, but I can’t get it to the shop till I can steer it and life has been too busy to find time to work on it lately. But I’m starting to get anxious
Yeah, so you saw the basement a bit when you were over maybe... this is what it looks like today.

I broke my transfer case last weekend on the naches. I was talking to Jamie from Jamie’s transmission service in snohomish. He has one on hand with a sye already installed. I’ll swap it hopefully this week. The axles and lockers worked great though, but it’s currently stuck in 4 hi. I also have a savvy shifter kit for it too. It happened fairly soon, so I only took two pics.

Walker was great today. Super dry still, dusty AF. Not a lot of rigs on the trail. They made Ron's run too easy now. When the rains come and wash a lot of dirt out it will get spicy again.

Sounds great. I don't hear of NP231s breaking very often. Did you smack it on a rock? I also have an NP231 with sye and 2low that I need to sell if that other one doesn't work out.

It jumped out of 4 low on a climb and sounded like gears with no teeth touching each other. Using the winch to pull me along I was able to force it in 4 hi. Now I can’t get it in 2 or 4 low. I crawled under and tried to manually shift it to no avail. Probably something I did when I was rooting around in the transfer case changing the chain and bearings

Original case from my jeep, pulled at around 92k miles for an Atlas. Has a rebuild of bearings from Novek pn# 231-MR-2/1 ($269), Terraflex 2Low conversion ($260) (let's you use rear low only), advanced adapters slip yoke eliminator ($213) Asking $500. Does weep slightly from gasket maker joint. Asking less than just the parts that I added on. Box was stock until around 80k miles. FWIW, it came from a 2004 Auto
I'm just down road from Snohomish proper.

Just crack it and find out. What a mess. May just need an adjustment, getting things in the right place.
