Well, tonight before Tj and I took Slider over to the fabricator's place, we "psuedo-bolted" up the t-case to see where my twin sticks will come up, and in the process we realized that my t-case sites WAY low (refer to pictures). does anybody know if the D20 t-case can be clocked without a re-indexing ring??? PLEASE let me know.

UPDATE::
It's Done!!!
I rolled it out tonight. and its done.... well.... ok, its driveable :roll:
There are a few problems that I need to address:
1) I need a new Dipstick Tube b/c this one leaks
2) It is not automatically shifting
3) It is not downshiftin to first when I come to a stop
4) It does not feel like its startin out in first gear
(I think 2-4 have to do with the valve body which may need rebuilt, b/c I over looked it in the original rebuildin stages *most looked-over part of a tranny rebuild*)
I LOVE the MegaShifter though. I will get some pictures up tomorrow when its light out. Thanks to all that helped me as I did this swap, I GREATLY appreciate it!

Ryan, I'll ride with you next time, that way when something gets broken, I don't have to go home with my tail between my legs. Still was a lot of fun seeing what a SD could do without limited slip or lockers or special tire.
