You can play 'he man' and muscle out the transmission, complete with
transfer case, by yourself. Or you can buy a fold up 2,000# hoist for
around $200. The first way could cost you more than $10,000 in
recontructive surgery and/or repairs to dropped parts, not to mention the
fun of putting the trans. back in. The second way is relatively painless
and you can use the hoist for all sorts of other fun stuff.
Personally, I'll pay the $200 for the hoist. I'll let the 'he man' types
have all the fun of R&R'ing via the strong back method. You know what they
say about the relationship of back strength to other human attributes.
