The steering shaft ext. is a bolt on piece; it's cake, 5 minutes max. I'm
guessing the transfer case ext. you mention is for the stick shift used for
shifting into 4WD. If indeed that is what it is, you would not necessarily
be in the point of no return as you can always run in 2WD until you get the
thing extended. The time consuming part for me was the front bumper
relocation and lining it back up. I had my bumper on and off 4 times to get
it perfect. It would have been easier with help.

Come on up to Oregon and I'll help you with the install!

Good Luck!

Dennis
