For what it's worth, I found this tranny to be a real PITA (pain in the ass) to pull. There's a lot to disconnect, no more than with any other 4WD, but getting the integrated tranny & tcase out was a challenge. Getting to the top bolts was a pain, too. I finally fuond that going at it through the shifter hole, after lowing the transmission a little, with a LOT of extensions, worked pretty well. I've done it twice now and hope that my current clutch lasts a long time!!!

I would definitely get a purpose-built tranny jack from Harbor Freight or somewhere else and have a friend help when dropping it. I would also recommend the factory shop manual as well.
