Upcoming Projects:

I have a couple of projects I'm planning. The first is a simple one. I'm gonna pull the battery trays and POR15 or powdercoat them. I haven't decided which.

Next is the big one. The transfer case gives me a clunk when I shift (especially into reverse). My reading suggest it's the differential section showing its age. I'm pretty committed to the NP203 because it's strong and I don't care about fuel economy. I also like the fulltime aspect of it. The sad thing is that support for it is waning. I can't find anybody that sales the differential gears. I have found a company that specializes in just transfer case rebuilds, but I'm trying to see if they will actually rebuild mine and not force me into a core situation. I'm a bit nostalgic, but ultimately, a like-new NP203 is gonna trump originality.

If I'm going through the trouble of pulling the transfer case, I may have the TH350 rebuilt and cleaned up.
