Its HERE!!! The shop called and told me that it was delivered and I went to see it for myself. Its beautiful... 
Just need to find a gap in the schedule at the shop and we're golden! I've got the cash for the drive shafts and install ready to go. I'll make sure to post plenty of pics as the install begins. I can hardly wait.

I know of only two people that put an Atlas transfer case in a JK. They both had serious problems getting the electronics to work right. It was something about the JK computer not recognizing the new gear ratio, and either shutting things down, or going into limp mode. I think they both got it sorted out, but it was a major pain in the ass. So let us know how that goes, ok.

I didn't want to thread cap and be a debbie downer on the OP's purchase...
BUT I think anyone looking for more low range off road would be much better off swaping in a NV241 from a rubicon to get a 4:1. Its not uncommon to find someone willing to trade a 4:1 + cash for a 2.7:1, and I have seen them sell outright for around $1000.

Were they autos? I'd think it is no different than swapping a Rubi case into a Sport. I swapped a Rubi case into my 2013 Sport and not a single issue. Computer didn't seem to have any issue. I almost went Atlas and looked at the install instructions. Looked like a direct swap.
