oh, and I am running dual stock cases in mine.
the only problem that I have is that the shop I had put them together didn't use marlin's adaptor, even though that is what I bought. I just found out about 2 months ago it is an AA adaptor. that is why it growels. The early Marlin adapters were made by AA, I think it may even have AA cast in to it. Cannot remember it has been so long since I have had mine out and I am old and forget things nowdays. If you know for sure they did a switch on you they would sure hear about it from me!!!!!! I know mine is Marlin, Marlin delivered it to me!!!!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I thought it was the transmission. but did a clutch and changed it out. same sound. looking at marlins site and the thin bearing is where I figured it out. or as you said it might have been marlin's early adaptor. so I can't really say much. after blowing a rear end because the bolts were not tight I don't go there exept for parts. he had a real hard time with help for a while.

You do not need to upgrade the splines in the rear case. The 'Total Spline' system is quite strong even in 21 spline.
In fact, I run the 21 spline in the rear case even though the Chili sports a 3.4. You will never hear them claim that is recommended, but... they have never had a failure in the TS system to date (last I checked).

I see a lot of axle failures on the trail but rarely see any transfer case related failures in Toyotas regardless of which adapter or gears people are running. I have seen output shafts break in a few instances but these were generally in vehicles with 40" tires and guys that were dropping the hammer to try and climb something.

I have seen posts of worn/failed couplers in the older design...
