    Where'd you take it, and if you don't mind, what's the likely damage? I know @Mojo Jojo was looking for shops up in NOVA.

    This is what it looks like. I ended up removing the isolator and shortening it because it was interfering with the tranny shifter. Pic is before the last mod but angles are the same.IMG_20200816_121842.jpg

    It was a 13 because the closed side of the wrench fit almost perfectly around the shaft. 4lo goes in no problem. if I angled it anymore forward it probably wouldn't though

    My shifter is 1/2" cold roll bent, welded and shaped to fit. I also cut the hole in the floor large enough to get the shifter out from the cab without issues.

    Man, do it. That and the FJ tube, totally eliminate all electrical bs. If I destroy my transfer case or actuator or anything, I’m making the jump.

    I am seriously looking, but then it will never get put in because one of us doesn't know how to weld.... And it isn't you.

    Once someone makes a shifter with all the correct angles, it would be nothing to make a jig off from it to make lots more shifters. Someone could do an exchange program on the shifters.

    I didn't have to do any welding for my FJ swap. I just cut a little more plastic. Doesn't look as clean, but it was weld free.
