what would it take to put a push button transfer case like the ones in a 04 gmc sierra in a gen 1 jimmy?
 
Dont waste your time bud. I work with this equipment everyday. Sooner or later, it will fail. It will break, usually when you are in 4 low or 4 high. I've had countless break on me. Oddly, the ones we have with shifters, Ive never had a problem.
 
damn, i have one in my truck now, never had a problem with it, but it only has 300hp and has to turn33" tires, my jimmy should make around 450hp and have 38-40" tires.

It's more the little electric motor etc. that shift the t-case that fails moreso than any internals.

Regardless, you may have issues with that much motor and tire with any aluminum t-case other than an Atlas or Stak, depends on if it's all street duty or not.

id say about 80% street duty, i might go mudding 3 or 4 weekends a year, sometimes i used 4x4 when pulling trailers, jsut depends on the road surface.
 
How hard it is to shift a transfer case?

Did you bother to look to see that the push button t-cases all are driver's drop?
 
You can make air shifters for a NP205, search on Pirate for instructions and pictures.
 
i plan on building a center console for my jimmy and instead of having a big stick coming thru the middle i thought it would be neat to have the push button thing, i will def look into the air shifter because i will have on board air and air lockers, possible a air horn.
 
Build a linkage and have the t-case shifter out of the way of the console. Or build the console around the shifter.

I can't imagine how cool it would be to have a transfer case that you can't shift.

Alright let me ask you this. What are you building this truck for? Your jacking a truck up on 38-40in tires. You want a pushbutton transfer case for the "coolness" factor of not having a shifter stick being on the floor. And you say your gonna be towing with it and using it on the street 80% of the time?

You need a mid 2000s 4x4 truck not a solid axle 80s truck on big meats...

O and to add your realise the wheelbase of a Jimmy is gonna SUCK for towing right? And lifting it is insult to injury in that regard?

im building it because i can and because i want to. i do have a 04 gmc sierra 4x4 that has 40,000 miles on it. i drive less than 7500 miles a year i tow roughly 400 miles a year(not at once) usually nothing more than a open single car trailer with a small car on it. i just want something else to drive, i get bored with my truck so hell why not jump in a jacked up beefed up jimmy? why ya got your panties in a bunch over what i want to do and how i want to do it?
 
Scott man, Stomis is just stating the facts... what your asking for is almost unrealistic and definitely unpractical. Do what you want man, more power to ya, but realize what your getting yourself into... FWIW I think a "stick" coming through the floor is far more badass than push button. My .02.... Good luck on whatever you choose dude

Lol I dont have my panties up in a wad. Just trying to help you not piss money away. Its not my cash getting wasted. I'm just trying to help you realize that a Jimmy isnt the right truck to do this with but I can already tell your one of those people thats gonna do what he wants and wont listen to any constructive criticism anyway.
