Anybody know of a company (or companies) that sell aftermarket shift ***** for the transfer case?

To answer my own question, the company I was trying to remember is LiteGrip. They make Maglite stuff and shift ***** for trannys and TCs.

Yeah that was PocketsEmpty. He cut off the factory handle and welded on some threaded rod that the CJ shift **** spins on to. The XJ & TJ shift handles are formed plastic, not like YJs and CJs.

Thanks for the diagram, and yes I am referring to the PCM. I had the forward most connector unplugged in order to access that wire and test it's voltage. When it was unplugged, the brown wire with yellow tracer had 5 to 6 Volts running on it. However, as soon as I plugged it in, still testing the wire for volts, it would lose all the power at that point of the wire (right at the PCM). Also it would have no power down at the sensor at this point. Sorry for the poor description, I am new to electricity and this is my first fix to a broken circuit.

I don't quite nderstand what you said you were doing in your previous post: "Well, I fixed the voltage problem by tracing the black wire with the yellow stripe all through the engine. And I got that wire to read 5 to 6 volts everywhere it went, However, now when I plug the wiring harness back into the computer, I get zero volts again!? What could be doing that?" The "Black wire with a Yellow tracer is actually a Brown/Yellow tracer wire, which is the VSS Sensor Ground, not the 5 volt supply voltage. What computer are you referring to, the PCM? If so, why did you have the PCM connector unplugged? Here's a diagram of the VSS circuit and a pinout of the VSS connector. You can see in this data that the 5 volt supply is from pin cavity 1 of the connector (Violet/Orange tracer wire). The VSS Ground is pin cavity 2 of the connector (Brown/Yellow tracer wire). And the VSS Signal is pin cavity 3 (White/Orange tracer wire). Hope this helps you understand the VSS circuit. I fixed the diagram mistake (red ink).

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most difficult, how difficult is it to do the 2x6 rocker slider install? This being from someone who knows how to fab and weld. For someone that doesn't play with rocks and just wants some piece of mind for any possible high center occasion would there need to be some supports to the sub-frame or just weld in place of the old rocker? Looking at having this done in the next year or so.
