did the transfer case fall apart from a lack of oil? apparently cruisers have a habbit of doing that, they have a tube that goes through the middle that transfers the oil from the gearbox to the transfer case and this clogs up, realy expensive to fix, but you can get a bypass hose that bolts up to the gearbox and to the transfer case so youll never have to worry about it again, my gfs father did it to his trayback and 80 series wagon, not a hard thing to do, but good insurance.
