time to reseal the t-case clean surfaces and reglue

push the motor back and hold it up with the engine cradle so I can get back on the lift about where it needs to be now the engine and trans are fully suspended (it's on the cross member) I can push it back - we won't show how because it may cause some of the more delicate to lose sleep

as no one trusts anyone on the internet with the trans attached. fun aside, leave the t-case off, loosen the core support and the motor goes right in like this also fixed some power wires and removed the driveshaft... for whatever reason the past people didn't but just held it up with...

first step, center the Jeep on the rack and start laying out how this is going back together the wiring is an embarrassment - but I will fix it before it goes back together.... got a lot going on, but this is on deck for most of the rest of my focus
