I am going to make a write up on how to remove an aw4 but you should be fine, just make sure you have a full set of metric sockets and wrenches and i would highly recommend getting a transmission jack or at least borrowing one. You are going to need an E12 torx socket as well for 2 of the top engine bolts. Your going to need some extensions to get to them as well. A pipe came in handy as a breaker bar also. When unbolting the flexplate from the transmission use the harmonic balancer to spin the plate to get to the bolts. It should only take you a day or 2 depending on how fast you are working. If you have any specific questions you can PM me

Wow, must be a nice place to roll through in the XJ. The Giraffe headliner fits right in now that I know the environment.

Well it wasn't all done today, but! I got my terraflex SS SYE, Ford 8.8 & Bastard Packs Built& installed! Also threw some extended shackles on it cause I wasn't liking the ride. Now I need to have a Driveshaft fabbed up!
