Let's see your FJ case swap

Little more tweaking to do on the boots, but everythings in and rockin.

 

Anyone have a stock FJ transfer case shift lever they want to part with? I'm looking for one.

 

Get outa here 4hi 4lo switch

 

Alright it’s time! Before I crack this open and duck it up. It’s a straight swap for auto tranny. Switchem cut the hole, make the console work. Idgaf about the 4wd light being on I’ll know where it is. Anything I’m missing m?

 

You didnt mention ADD. Planning to delete it or rewire to a switch?

 

My understanding is I can just turn the switch on and leave it. Correct? @EatSleepTacos I’ll rewire it later.

 

Yea I think that works, you'd just want to turn the switch before you pull the taco case so you can get the signal from the tcase actuator.

 

Yep it’s still going strong. I also highly recommend wiring up the dash lights, it’s incredibly easy and nice to know when I’m fully out of 4wd. You just swap the sensors from your case to the fj case and then jump two wires at the 4wd ecu

 

The wires from my donor TCase came burnt up. I’ve had enough J shift cases to know where I am. I’m going to roll with it for now

 

Which is why I said transfer the sensors over from your old case so it’s plug and play.

 

I agree with @EatSleepTacos

Getting the dash lights to play ball is awesomeness.

 

How did you do yours? Ive tried so many times by sticking bare wire in the pin connectors, nothing.

 

I know you weren't asking me, but here's how I did mine. Cut behind the 4wd ecu connectors and soldered the them.

 

I was prerunner, no 4wd ecu

 

Ah. I forgot you were a 2wd to 4wd conversion. I have nothing to offer here.

 

I am glad @Littles had a pic of his.

I took a bag of money, and beat my good friend with it. Then the lights all worked.

 

I came across this thread while looking for info on failing transfer case sensors: https://www.fjcruiserforums.com/thr...erational-rear-diff-lock.432729/#post-6154497

Not sure if it's been mentioned

 

Got it

 

@pdaddy

Maybe @Brian422 can help? Looks like he went straight sensor to gauge cluster. Perhaps he knows the pins you need to hit on the back. I am trying to come up with a wiring diagram for the gauge cluster for your 2013, but coming up blank.

 

Appreciate it. I’m pretty sure I’m using the right pins, I’ve checked with him before and I’m doing the same thing but mine just doesn’t want to work lol only thing I haven’t done is use bigger gauge wires so may try that
