Yep I have & yes you do as the transmission cross member is not removable.

Its still a PITA with the diff out but at least you dont have the transfer attatched (if its the one with the divorced transfer).
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
No they ain't, I'm just in front...............
