question for you. with the ls motor and the 4l60 how did you hook up the transfer case for 4x4? did you just use the jeep tranfer case and get a adaptor plate for the trans/transfer case ?

Default LS1 Jeep

I going to run 17 x 8 wheels with 32" tires for now.

No 37" or long arms in the plans.

I used a Novak adapter between 4L60E and the 241 Rubicon transfer case.

I used the 241 because it is really a 1/2 ton pickup transfer case. Don't really need the 4:1 low range but that's how they come.

I have a 231 T/C with a wide chain kit and SYE kit in my 6.0 Wrangler. I'm always a bit nervous if I really get some traction it might break. Hasn't yet.
