Let's see your FJ case swap

Man this is so well done! This is exactly what I'm wanting to do to my 4.0 auto. Do you have a write up on how to do it with the single stick? Or was it cut a hole for the new shifter and then plug and play for the fj case?

 

cut, chop, bend, weld, test, repeat until your liking. There is no "plug and play" shifter fitment for these rigs.

 

No no the shifter plug and play but the transfer case. Like you said I'll have to cut, bend and weld to get the shifter were I want it but does the case bolt right up? I can't find a detailed write up on the single stick

 

I'm WNC how much for me to come and you intall one in my 4.0 auto haha

 

Yes the case has same bolt pattern for auto FJ to auto taco. To swap to manual taco you need to swap the input shafts on the auto FJ case.

 

Looks through the pictures on my profile under 4wd conversion album. Will give you a better idea.

 

I did share images and measurements on the prerunner to 4x4 smooth brain edition. Post #84 I believe. Cheers.

 

Anybody still make twin stick kits?

 

Pretty sure front range off-road does

 

Yep that is where I got mine!

 

Those are helpful thank you! Beside cutting for the lever you only had to cut the exhaust b/c you're doing the 4x4 conversion. Since mine is already 4x4 all I'll have to do is cut for the lever? Sorry for the dumb questions my brain is polished

 

Awesome that's good to know. Thank you for the beta

My mom lives in ashville. No way in hell im going that way haha.

 

Dude I'm Asheville! I'll provide beer food and money!! haha

 

Finished up the interior today. I wanted to keep all The console intact I think it turned out great

 

Do you have a picture of before you put the console back?

 

I heard @6 gearT444E likes beer in the NE just a couple hours drive (a little more for you though)

 

The stock tcase system seems finicky. To engage 4H, it prefers to be moving at a decent speed in lower gear, and under deceleration

Which is bad because if you find yourself having to use it from a standstill, it might just not engage

Does converting to a manual tcase solve this? I imagine it would

 

The 4h system is still synchromeshed and shifts much easier if moving at a low speed under no load
