GeoGraft Via Transfer Tool Not Working

I am making a tail for G8F (and after I am done I will do G8M) I have successfully rigged it with 86 bones and now am attempting to make it a GeoGraft using the Transfer Utility. However, when I run the TU, I lose all custom bones and the meshes don't merge like they're supposed to. The images I have attached show what the hierarchy of the tail looks like before using TU, the TU settings I used and one image containing both the mesh not welded to the G8F and the hierarchy of the tail Post-Transfer.

I thought the obj had to be geocrafted before adding bones, but I could easily be wrong.
Would be good news if not!
Sickleyield has a tutorial on that:
Thank you! I used the tutorial and it really helped
