While I agree that removing the Tcase is totally optional. Given that some of us are not young bucks anymore, couple that with dripping Tcase juice on your face, it made sense for me to remove it. Also, this gave me the opportunity to do the Tcase input seal, Tranny output seal at the same time. What I'd do for a shop with a two post hoist

Age dont matter. Some of us are turning 70 this year, and still doing it On the rig, as long as there are none of those seals to replace. Grinding uphill with trifocals is kinda a brail situation, but not really that hard. Just gotta take yur time. I have had a couple dozen sets of the gear clusters set down on my sternum so I can wheel my creeper in/out from under the rig. If your worried about getting gear oil on your body, hire this job out.
Never mind the tcase falling on you
Never happened to me cause I don't use cheap jacks as my life is worth way more than saving a few $$$
Sounds like I need one of those. Please share the jack you are using to secure the transfercase from falling off
I have the hf trans jack. It's been a lifesaver. I wish I would've bought one 20 years a go. I even use it to mount my sliders. It's so nice just to bolt something in without having to physically hold it in place and keep it lined up.My buddy who has way more tools than I do let's me borrow it as needed. It's nothing special, just a true trans jack with two axis fine adjustments. large tray, chains and a huge foot pattern for stability. I think he's had this thing since the late 80's cause it's rather heavy to load/unload from a vehicle.
Harbor Freight has a smaller version of his jack with similar capabilities which I think is a safe jack to use for our application. Neither the Tranny nor the Tcase weigh that much so the HF model would work well for the budget.
Well. It DOES qualify as Laying Down o. The Job, and Tools cant see me under the car!Y'all like to lay on the creeper way more than I do apparently. Good on ya for still bending and stooping
The black box has a breather/fill port (fill from breather) and a drain port as it comes from nwf so yes it does have ports but they aren't specifically ports for the cooling lines but you could route the lines in and out of those. It would need an external pump that could move synthetic gear oil and I'm not sure what pump will be used yet.
Interesting that it overheats in high range.... there are no gears meshing in high-range, right? Instead of a separate fluid reservoir, perhaps pump fluid in/out of the other transfer case.
To echo everyone, the low range gears are unquestionably the answer. Obviously even lower would be better but you will notice a huge difference over stock with these gears.

I have waiting to hear back.
Very interested if they get back to you and curious if the Magnum Box can be adapted to work with LandCruiser transmissions/cases...!
