I have a short lasting opportunity to buy a 96 explorer with the 5.0 and awd transfer case for $500. This wasn't a planned swap but i have access to a great welder and fully equipped shop. I've got a 1999 supercab 4x4 ranger with the gutless 3.0. Every problem seems manageable on a budget except for the transfer case. I won't use the explore's because i know that the awd system is junk for my demanding offroad use. From my research the ranger's bw1354 transfer case can handle the power and I want to use it for simplicity. The advance adapter for the 4R70W is wayyyyyy to pricey if I was to go through with this build. Anyone got any pre-owned ones or better ideas?
