Transmission Adapter is in!

It's been a while since I posted anything let alone did anything on the car but three weeks ago my brother and I put together the transfer case with the Advanced Adapter kit. There were no real instructions in the kit which I think is a bummer for how much I spent on it.  I take that back, the kit said (direct quote), "The assembly of the adapter plate to the transfer case should be very much like the originally transmission that is being replaced."  There were some drawn images as well but how hard is it to take a picture?

I also ordered a gasket set and nuts for the transfer case from Cruiser Outfitters (great company).

All in all it was an easy install but there was a lot of hesitation because the instructions were not clear. Here are some pictures (sorry, no tutorial I always forget to take pictures and when I remember my wife won't let me touch the camera with greasy hands). 






You'll notice that the shifter doesn't line up quite right.  That's something that I have to fix.  They sent a little mounting bracket for the shifter with the kit but it says that some modifications may have to be done to the shifters.
