Let's see your FJ case swap

if I could, I would. I just don't have time fir trial an error on my daily... Hook up and let's go. Tho today I did bring the 4runner because I didn't want the truck to fall into limp mode or something on the way to work.
So does anyone know where the vacuum lines go to once everything is all replaced??? I'm sing a different hose fir case vacuum.

 

There are no vacuum lines for the transfer case. There is a breather, but no vacuum lines.

 

Since I was a 2wd conversion with the FJ case I didn't have the old plug on the front diff to salvage for the switch. I bought my harness from RST before he went "silly". I think I paid $120 for it and it's been flawless ever since. My only complaint was the light wasn't bright enough on the switch and I couldn't tell if it was on or off. I added a large indicator light from EMPI next to it, I can see it now!

 

lol.. Yeah. That's what I meant. Lol.. Thanks!!

 

FJ case swap "NEUTRAL"??
Since in not all of keen with reading wiring schematics, or diagrams, has anyone figured out the "NEUTRAL" wires for the dash lights to actually display this?? Just curious, thanks for continuing this still "BAD ASS" case swap thread!!!

 

AFAIK There's no neutral indicator in the dash display for the tcase, so nothing to connect it to. You can just leave the sensor installed in the case and let the wire dangle. I think that's what most do.

 

Agree with this. From my understanding it’s just the indicator to show 4wd or low range. Usually it would flash if it wasn’t engaged but with my 4wd ecu gone it either grinds or I don’t move lol.

 

I just got a FJ case. Who's got a link on how to do the twin shift , all the links I see with RST are not loading

 

It's not a perfect how-to guide, but should get you there:

Using a trident shifter so there’s no port to plug these breather hoses into from the trans into the t case or t case shifter. Suggestions on what to do with them?

 

@6gearT444E; I'm gonna lightly leak for now. I'm not ready to tackle this again. This time I can just take the back half of the case off and clean her up from there without dropping the whole thing?? I think I saw that somewhere??‍ and thanks, yet again...

 

Add a line and secure by the windshield washer hoses.

 

Do the hoses have vacuum, or they just breathers?? Asking for a friend..

 

Don’t think so.

BTW anybody need an fj shifter, sensor, or other misc parts? Let’s make your life better and my shop less cluttered

 

Do you have two shift knobs? How much for a shifter? Feel free to PM me. Thanks!

 

I have two shift knobs - stock FJ, and a King rod end that i had machined into a knob. But its been 3 years and i haven't installed my case yet. Wanting to do it soon, but scared about wiring and ADD.

 

Just get rid of the ADD and never look back. 3 tack welds and a simple plate and I was done.

Do it!

 

Fatfurious2, just watch the YouTube vids as tho you were studying. I had a lip fear as well, but was confident in that I've done the 3rd members with gears from ECGS. Sure, the wiring seems hard, but it's really not. TW members always willing to help. Just don't rush and put a damn good layer of sealant. I gotta re-do mine. Otherwise, do it bro. Hardest part for me was the bends for the twin sticks to come out at the pen slot to the right of the auto shifter. (2013) Just do it already. I did.
