We got it done. Through no small effort we got the truck(1/2 a truck to be exact)from the out of doors to where it was dry. Not before getting a bit wet of course.
Long story short: Transmission and Transfer case out, truck(less than 1/2 now)moved back outside, and garage cleaned up.
Then there was the hour drive back(I drove slow in the rain and fog), sauna, shave and after this.
