    That’s what we did on mine. I was easy once we figured out the angle it needed to go in. Minus tightening up the rear and front ds that was the last thing we did. Well add fluids after

    Edit: I'm dumb. But I was thinking install the tranny THEN figure out the crossmember. Is that what you did?

    I’m trying to find the video for you we referenced numerous times it’s a 3 part video from the Toyota time channel. If you’ve never pulled your trans then this video will help tremendously and also lay out all the tools you’re going to need.

    I'm in Richmond, Virginia and just finished up the last of my 4wd conversion today. Had the exhaust rerouted Friday. Had a few issues at first, but they turned out to be simple mistakes. Good luck with the build!

    Also dont be afraid to reach out to some of the guys who have done the conversion already. A couple of the guys on here helped me out a lot when I needed some advice.

    Maybe we can link up and I can checkout your setup? That's an easy drive

    I'm still piecing together parts. Hopefully in the next month or so. Ill keep everyone posted. All I have now is the tranny and tcase. Will get the tranny mount and a bunch of bolts this week and hopefully a lead on driveshafts shortly. I plan on doing it in two phases so once I have the rear driveshaft I'll probably get the tranny and tcase in and just have a 2wd with a tcase for however long i need to get the front end parts collected

    Thanks an awesome offer. Adams got to stick together
