Dunno about the rest of yas but I finally fricken got home ... and I got truck issues 
Tranny was running ~100 degrees higher than normal most of the way home, around 180-200 degrees .. thought it felt funny so stopped on the street before pulling in the garage .. tried to put the transfer case in to 4 hi locked, wouldn't go, tried 4 lo, wouldn't go. Tried 4 hi lockedagain and it went with a seriously loud bang. After that 4 lo went to and of course no isses gettin' back in to 4 hi (not locked) ... not sure wtf is going on but I'm making an appointment to get it looked at in the morning .. this blows .. I had such a good time too .. didn't want itto end on this kind of note!

We just got home too.. WHAT A GREAT DAY!
Sorry to hear about your troubles... keep me uipdated on what is wrong... Could it be that you were in a weird spot and it caused the driveline to be in a bind??
the temp thing could be from mud clogging the radiator....
Carrie and I are very glad to have meet you guys.. We look forward to doing it again soon!

Checked the cooling system as best as I could when I filled up and I saw nothing that would indicate that is the culprit. Granted, I'm pretty tender after today so I probably did a half azz job at it but radiator looked fine. I guess it could be the fact that the truck was running damn near 14 hours straight too LOL! We'll see .. I'm going to take it in just to be on the safe side .. the tcase issue bothers me a bit ... especially since I didn't have any problems on the trails ... I'm almost tempted saying it never went out of 4hi locked :/ Ohh well ... it's only money right!?
I too was very glad to meet up with ya'll. I had a riot of a good time and I think I FINALLY comprehend just how incredibly capable these vehicles are. A big thanks to Mike for taking the lead and showing us around .. though you scared the livin' pi$$ out of me with that one drop in .. ya did aight bro! :-) Can't wait to see the other pics ... If anyone wants the ones I took PM me your e-mail address and I'll try to crop em down so I don't clog up your inboxes!
And on a similar note .. you're not so @#$%!@$#%!@ scary lookin in person Jer :-)
