    Thanks Steve, I hope I'll have one tomorrow which would be best. I do plan on connecting with you to make a simple modification to my spare carrier at some point. I was thinking it would be soon but this popped up so I'll deal with it first.

    The important thing about my past as an aluminum welder is that it's in the past, I've probably forgotten more than I ever knew.

    That was a long time ago!

    Researching my options I ran across this photo showing I'm not the only one to break this part. Misery loves company

    Sounds like between your current case and the new case, you can make a good case. Based on some of the things I briefly read about it, they seem to have some issues. That is why I tossed out the idea of the Inchworm case. Should remedy those issues. They are proud of them though.

    Chris, Jb weld it empty of fluid let it dry and they slather some more on. If it didn't leak it shouldn't be a problem. The t-case is vented and doesn't hold any kinda pressure.

    Or once you get your busted case out, can you weld it and keep it as a spare? Since this seems to be fairly common.....

    I haven't heard many people having issues with these Jeff, some actuator issues but not that many from what I hear.

    My first attempt failed due to my thinking it was set in place but it wasn't and basically fell off.

    I redid it using a piece of aluminum to cover the hole which should work better. I may need another coat as you said Nick. I doubt I'll bother trying to fix it once I get it off Tom. It'll be nicely protected with my new set of skids.

    Damn, I wish I had gotten them on before doing Moab!

    Yeah, the biggest problem seemed to be the actuator and the fact that it is inside the case apparently. It seemed to garner a fair number of hits, but nobody ever posts about how good the transfer case is, just the problems. It was hard to tell how frequent the issue was. Hope your repairs go smoothly!

    Thanks Jeff, the one you pointed me to was pulled because of a failed actuator which is outrageously expensive. The guy has a friend the pulled his for something else (Inchworm?) so he used it instead of just the actuator which is outside the case. It's the black box that I think is visible in my photo.

    I'm not very familiar with the t-case but it looks like I have a few options, maybe just replace the rear cover. Another option is the whole case and use my actuator. I'll have a better idea when I pick up the replacement and can give it a good look over.
