Thinking about a DIY install of my 2.85 gears. I can get a fairly low mileage (150k) transfer case pretty cheap, so I can take my time. Looks like a job, but doable.

That thing's got a million bearings in it. Pricing out replacing them all ends up at about $300. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> You think I can get by just replacing the oil seals and gaskets? Any advice?

1990 Monty LS 3.0 A/T LWB. KYB front shocks, OME rears and coils. 33x10.5 BFG Muds. 5.29, 2.85, RD110, RD46. 2 bouncys. Aisins. Monte Disco swaybar disconnects. GenII t-arms, idler arm, UCA's, V45W front brakes. 2in BL.
