I like your shift knobs. I just took mine off and had no problem with the transfer case. I used vice grips below the knob and a hammer to tap it off. The shift knob was a different story. I tried every technique listed but that MF'er was welded on. I ended up using a saw to cut the knob into pieces. I made a ridiculous mess of plastic, blood and chipped paint but I got that SOB off! I don't recommend my method.

Excuse my ignorance, but what are the two white cables going from the front of the Jeep to the top window corners for? I've seen it on a couple of Jeeps and was wondering what they do?

They're called limb risers. They help deflect tree branches on narrow trials. The branch rides up the cable and over the jeep instead of into the windshield and down the side.
