Let's see your FJ case swap

dual stick you get a true 2lo. Other than that there is not. It’s easier to shift between hi-lo with the twin sticks in my opinion. Cons would be oil leaks due to poor quality aftermarket shifters. Sticking with a single shifter you keep the oem setup.

 

Gotcha ok that clears things up. Thanks a ton Ill definitely be taking this into consideration.

 

2nd Gen Taco got a little FJ in it. Finished it finally. Thanks everyone for the helpful advice.

 

I’m looking to do the prerunner to 4wd doing manual t case off fj. What drive shafts do I use??

 

the same driveshafts that come with the 4wd version of your truck

 

Ahh okay didnt think of that... I’ll just have to relocate the center support bearing ??

 

yep, or you can opt for a single piece rear driveshaft, that’s what I did and is the better solution, but it’s a little more expensive

 

Ahh okay. Shoot I’ll figure that out. So you went from 2wd to 4wd? How is it working ? And what gear ration in the front diff? I see two options.

 

negative, I swapped in an FJ case. There are five options for gears 3.73. 4.10, 4.56, 4.88, and 5.29. I opted for 4.56.

 

I found it easier to just shorten the front section of the DS. Cost me like $100 to have a driveshaft shop shorten and rebalance it.

 

I don’t have a picture of my fabricated shifter installed. I’ll take one tomorrow. Here’s the shifter be tac welded for a test fit

That’s the shifter to transfer case?? It doesn’t just go up in the coin slot? Do I have to make it all crazy like that ?

 

yeah you have to re route it to fit in the coin slot.

 

well damn okay. I’ll have to figure that out.

 

yeah not a plug an play mod, takes a little guesswork, patience, and luck.

 

so when I see any of these completed mods (single stick, Manual) and the fj shifter lever is in the same bay as the factory shifter, its been moded to get it there?

 

Yes

 

On another note my Getta Grip shifter came in today completes everything I think.

 

Here’s how the shifter came out. I think I still need to do a slight bend away from the transmission shifter. Barely rubs like (1/16 of an inch) the t case shift knobs when going from park to reverse. But it’s not that big of a deal for now.
