    Very smooth, Everything works as should with no issues! Even got my dash lights working! Took it to the off road park a couple of weeks again and tested it out pretty hard! Everything worked well. Took it on a trip to Atlanta this past weekend as well. Put about 500 or so miles on it and everything looking good!

    That's great news! Has the power or mileage gone down any since the swap? I am still toying with a swap in the future, but am not 100% sold yet as i drive on pavement mainly lol

    Really non that i can honestly feel. But the benefits greatly outweigh any negatives in the swap. The added traction and 4lo is great! I mean i may have lost like another mpg or 1/2 mpg but my trucks a trail rig and camping rig now so that doesn't really matter lol.

    Yup. Drove about 100 miles already. Everything seems pretty good. Still need to mod the FJ shift so it doesn’t hit everything. Small detail though.

    Like I put smaller tires on and dropped 800lbs. It’s just so much more drivable. I wouldn’t says it’s a massive difference, but it’s very noticeable.
