Let's see your FJ case swap

JOY lol. Time to pull it back apart I suppose.

 

you might be able to do it with it installed. if you can lower the drive train a little it should be able to be gotten to. think its a 6mm allen bolt that comes out. all you gotta do is be able to remove that then shove the bearing in followed by the spring and close it up. shouldnt have to drop the whole thing

 

Good to hear. I couldn't remember how I removed it. Again, a long and drawn out project lol. I'll swap the factory spring in first to see if that fixes it.

 

Are you the guy that took my tcase and never venmoed me $20?

 

yes
still waiting to find out what your venmo is

 

Lmao ^^

 

I feel like we need a punk out/call out thread. Instead of street beefs, we can call it taco beefs.

 

Taco queefs

 

A place for all of the smack talk. Maybe a mod could start and moderate the queefs.

 

already have that

I threw the spring and bearing in for the 2wd/4wd shift rail. Was there one for the hi/lo rail or was that the "pill" I removed? I've got another spring, so I can always source another ball bearing if needed for the hi/lo side.

 

there should be one for all shifters.

 

That's what I thought. It probably went off to hide with all of my 10 mm sockets.

 

i might be wrong tho. if it never pops out then you should be good.

 

So here is mine. Lever bounces a lot over big bumps. Hasn’t popped out of gear but wonder if it will. Any suggestions for how to improve this? Should I cut off the OE FJ vibration damper and just cut threads on the rod closer to the center console opening? Or add some weight to the bent rod closer to the transfer case? I like the position but worry it may pop out of gear or cause some kind of wear bouncing around..

first pic was a test fit, ended up cutting it down a bit as the ‘u’ towards the front was too far forward and would pop out my cup holder lol..

 

Forgive my finished product, I "tried" to pretty it up as best I could, and make sure I kept the heat out. I do prefer the manual shifting that the FJ TC provides.

 

My stick looks similar to that only shorter and bounces pretty good with only a golf ball for a knob (yeah, puns intended). It's never popped out of gear.

 

Appreciate that. Just got back from a 6000 mile trip and no issues, but I do wonder if there is some wear and tear from the bouncing..

 

do you have any more info about the dash lights? I need to do the FJ tube on my 3rd gen and don't really want to stash the ADD under the truck in a bag/box. I would want to make the install legit and I cannot find any info on the subject.
