I also got around to installing my new Spice top from BestTop and frame rails from Rampage. I'll probably pony up the extra cash for an upgraded Sailcloth top at some point but this should last a few years and it looks a lot better.

I also realized there was some noise and vibration coming from the transfer case. I found it had ZERO fluid in it and the main shaft is bent, causing the driveshaft to hit the case and destroy the bearing (causing a wobble under acceleration / deceleration)

For a little over $300, NOVAK is selling me a good used main shaft, new shift fork, rebuild kit with all bearings and seals, and new tail shaft bearing. They are seriously awesome to deal with. You should call them with any gear issues and ask for EJ!

New parts are coming, here's the damage.
