The transfer case probably needs a fluid change anyway. Just drain it and remove the driveshaft, throw it in the back, load it up and go. What could be more simple?

if you go that route i highly suggest traveling with the needed amount of transfer case lube on hand, just as a precaution. if something happened and you needed to unhook the montero and drive to town for parts/help/etc you'd be stuck without the oil <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Personally, I'd jack up the rear end, remove the driveshaft, put a few zip lock bags or something over the transfer case output, zip tie the [censored] out of it and haul it like that. That way making the truck mobile again will only require 4 bolts.

I might be down in San Tan this thursday, i'll let you know around what time once i figure it out and if things jive, i'll stop by.
