Very nice. Glad to see you’re getting back on it. Should not need a puller on the t-case. I believe the book calls for it but I’ve never needed one on all the input gears/bearings I’ve removed on these cases.
frame swap is not that bad. I believe you mentioned having a donor. Good luck with it and look forward to seeing your progress. I just picked up a rusty one from BC. Look forward to assessing it to see if I can save it.
