Just giving you potential options, i'll keep looking

I found a BW4406 on Ebay and ordered it today.

Nice, how much?

$325 shipped.

Not bad

My transfer case arrived today. It even has a new speed sensor on it. I'm meeting a friend at a shop tonight to take a look at an engine for him so I'll start installing the case tomorrow. First measurements look good though because the case is 3 inches narrower than the BW1356 and it was only about 1/2 inch too wide.

I started installing the transfer case today. I went pretty good. I clearanced the body so that the case didn't hit the floor in a couple spots and then bolted it up to the trans. Next up is modifying the front mount for the fuel tank so that it clears the new case. I already pulled it off and cut a section off that wouldn't clear. I also cut a little peice of plate and welded it to the bracket. I still need to shape it and cut some areas of it to clear the tank but it's a start. Below are a few pictures of the bracket.

Another clearance issue I have is the tranmission crossmember because of my SAS. The new case sets the front driveshaft further rearward so the shaft will hit the crossmember. I'm going to have to figure out how I want to redo the crossmember.

The other thing I still need to do is measure to have new driveshafts made. I'll most likely do that before I do the crossmember so that they are being made while I making the crossmember.

I finished up the bracket tonight and reinstalled it along with the tank and skid plate. I'll try to get some pictures of it tomorrow. I also did some trial fitting for the front driveshaft and it looks like I might not have to make a new crossmember. I may only have to modify mine a little more than what I did back when I did the SAS. I won't know for sure until I get the shaft made.

Driveshafts are being made. They should be ready on Monday.

Here are some pictures of the finished tank support and what I did to the cross member. I dropped the front an inch and the rear 3/4 of an inch. The driveshafts aren't done yet but they said they should be tomorrow.

Tank support.



This is the passenger side but the drivers side was the same way.
