Brians F/R Locked Long Travel Camping and Overland Build

FJ tube is for the AWD model. Thats why.

 

So what disengages the the front tires from turning for the non AWD models? From everything that I have found including looking up parts like wheel bearings and front hubs, some claimed the 4wd had auto locking hubs, they are identical. I haven't found an add tube listed for an FJ or the mysterious locking hubs. If there is something I missed show me I'd love to see it. Especially if there is some sort of locking hub situation I am unaware of.

 

The manual came with Full time 4wd and the auto came with part time(same setup as our tacomas) Hence why the fj tcase bolts straight up. The auto uses the ADD.

Four-wheel drive models equipped with the RA61F manual transmission have a full-time 4WD system; it employs a center TORSEN differential, with a locking feature and distributes the engine's power 40:60 under most driving conditions. The TORSEN unit varies power distribution as needed, based on steering angle and wheel slippage. In the "lock" position, the differential switches to 50:50 power distribution.[33]

Rear-wheel drive models were available in some markets, only with automatic transmissions, and came standard with a limited-slip rear differential.[34]

• Five-speed A750E automatic transmission on rear-wheel drive models
• Five-speed A750F automatic transmission with VF2A transfer case on part-time 4x4 models
• Six-speed RA61F manual transmission with VF4B transfer case on full-time 4x4 models

I looked into all this when i did my conversion lol. I almost put a 6 speed manual trans out of the 3rd gen in my truck like @jowybyo. But i wanted to keep my auto.

 

It’s only a 5-speed for the 4-cyl.

 

so the 6cyl is 6 speed?

 

Yup

 

bellhousings aren't interchangeable, huh? It would be cool if you could.

 

There’s a thought lol

 

IDK it might not be like the old school stuff. Advance adapters will make anything for you though for a cost

 

I thought about trying to make the 3rd gen 6 speed trans work, but it opens too many obstacles lol.

 

Maybe one day when I have money to blow

 

On a side note. Planning a Moab trip for late this year. @ovrlndkull you in? Also @whatstcp come meet us from Cali lol

 

They got that hydraulic thingy that isn't ideal either IDK what it's call some sort of accumulator deal.

What dates you looking at going?

 

Hey man. Great build and info on the swap. I’m tackling the last half of mine in the coming weeks at some point. Sorry if I missed it, Would you be able to take a picture of the shifter coming up the coin tray from the passenger side? I’d like to see if I can mimic the bend/setup to have mine come through the coin area.

 

Sometime between September and November

 

It’s not that far I’m driving 1400 miles lol

 

That’s the end of like a 10mm box end wrench and some 1/2 round bar

 

I'll have to think about that I was shooting for an early summer trip but that may be pushed back. I really want to take the kiddo so she can see the country and the beauty out there.
