After some 5+ years of contemplating this project I've finally actually gotten somewhere.
The goal is to mount a US Gear/Doug Nash dual range box somehow behind the t-case so i can use a 2wd box instead of trying to find that 1 in a million 4wd unit. This also saves having to modify the t-case shifter & front driveline. Hardest thing to figure out was the shafting - I wanted to avoid trying to make a custom adapter shaft/coupler both for strength and cost concerns. The key as it turns out is that the slip yoke 1356 case uses an output shaft that is the same as the standard t-case input shaft.... this means that the DNE box will mate directly with this shaft and it's only necessary to make a mounting coupler to bolt the 2 together. Still got to add some bracing, drill holes and so finish work, but it's at least progress....
