Ouch. That sucks...Wheeled it to the garage. I attempted. Till my dad started worrying excessively. Didnt even hav it in 4L yet. Then it wouldnt go into 4L. And transfer was shifting very hard. So turned around. Didnt want to continue with potential problems. Then this weird hollow metallic clunk started with no pattern to it. In anger and depression we left. A trail I have been wanting to take for over 10 years.
went home and examined the rig trying to find the issues. I did see where I scraped the fuel tank skid and the cross bar right behind the oil pan. This was not a difficult section. So finding skid plates and a lift is a urgent need.
then found this little $#!+. I cannot believe it. In all my years I have never seen anything like it. No wonder I couldnt go to 4L. And probably the source of the noise. So if you have troubles shifting the transfer, look above the front drive shaft near the shift linkage
at least there was one decent photo captured
Still looks like it was a beautiful day besides having to cut it short.
