Let's see your FJ case swap

I thought there was a twin stick specific show off thread but I can't for the life of me find it.


I want to see some setups so I can get ideas on how/where I want my extra fun levers.

 

@tacoma16 gave me twin stick envy.

I have started down the path, with guidance from him.

 

I just contacted front range offroad fab

They have twin sticks available, without boot. They just updated the website.


Ordered mine

 

if this is what you ordered its what I will be using too.

mine was found used a year ago. I'm pretty sure I paid 125 for mine so not to bad

 

The supervisor of my mod @tacoma16, said that is the shiz to get.



That is American pricing, so watch out. She gets a bit pricey on checkout with the CND doll hairs.

 

Great you just gave him the power. He was acting supervisor, and at this rate he'll be the "assistant regional manager"
sorry, assistant to the regional manager in no time..lol....

 

lol there are a few others but that’s what I went with. By no means an expert based on all the questions I asked in here.....

 

I did not have to move my shifter on my 6sp. I am using the t-case shifter out of a awd case from a 6sp fj. I looks like it has built in short throw.

 

I dont think i ever posted in here, but i swapped in a 6spd FJ AWD case a couple months ago. Used driveshafts for a 5spd auto Tacoma.

 

Stopping for the day so I can have plenty of time tomorrow to swap input shafts without any interruption. A transmission jack made life a lot easier while working alone. Honestly, this has been really easy thus far and I only have fairly intermediate wrenching knowledge. Remove Y pipe, remove driveshafts, unbolt the bolts holding it to the tranny and off she comes.

 

youll enjoy the FJ case. plus it just looks badass.

 

I was supposed to remove those peaces ..... doh... lol. nice pic's defiantly keeping an eye on this...

 

I thought about working around various stuff but I figured I’m not in any rush. I may as well make this enjoyable and really take my time. So much room for activities.

 

I agree, I was too excited and in a rush as it had to be finished over the weekend. My hardest part was shifter location.
Good stuff..... oh an as soon as i started to disassembly i realized i should of hosed it off first, did not want to get the parts inside dirty....

 

Prob the smarter way to do it. I bench pressed that sum b up there lol don’t forget to mark/drill a pilot hole so you know where to cut through the floor!

 

@JBTacoma and i tried that and then decided to use the jack lol or did we?

 

What boot did you use? Custom order?

And why a 5 speed auto driveshaft? Does the original 6 speed 4x4 shaft not work?

 

Yes we used a jack, point the flange straight up and roll it toward the back as you jack it up and it will roll right into place.

 

I used the boot for the 6 speed FJ cruiser and it was modified with the tacoma shifter wire piece. The driveshafts had to be swapped because i used the manual trans FJ cruiser AWD t-case and it's an inch longer than the automatic FJ cruiser t-case. If you're installing an auto case behind your 6spd, your stock driveshafts will work just fine

 

Any reason you went with the auto? Other than, I imagine, to have an AWD taco?
