Got the transmission stabbed in tonight…what a pain doing this solo!
I had to keep the trans and transfer separate to be able to get the trans on the jack and mated up by myself. Hoping the transfer goes in easy tomorrow

Transmission is in and working!
Everything went pretty smooth but it was a little bit of a pain lining up the t-case and mating it to the trans.
The only real mishap was that the wires for my center diff lock motor (I use it for the 4wheel drive function) must have broke when we removed the t-case. They were old and frayed and two of them were no longer attached when it was time for installation.
Was able to take the top cover off and expose the contacts underneath.
Pulled that out and removed all the rubberized goop from it.
Soldered some new wires on.
Used a little Toyota Red to make my own waterproof gasket deal.
Back together…and it works.
Glad I saw this before the t-case was installed. That would have been a huge pain to deal with under the truck.
So I drove the Bean about 50miles and it seems to be working well. I’m going to try to drive it a bunch before we leave for Ouray.

Oh hey! I think I snagged a shot of Bean while I was up on Red Mountain Overlook.
Wild Bean spotting!
