    They said go with the Dana 300 with your kingpin pass. Drop Dana 60 front
    They said cable shifters unless you want to fab up some mechanical ones
    They said use the original FJ cruiser shifter for then ecocrawler and replace a bearing that all ways fails. I have the part #.
    Very helpful.

    I have a question for those who might know. Do you think the way these shifters are will interfere with the Eco crawler hooked up to this? Dana 300. Thanks ahead of your time for the input.

    You're in uncharted territory with the dana 300 behind the eco crawler. I haven't seen anyone else do it.

    That said, all of the shift linkage sits center over the the eco crawler on the input/output shafts. Since your linkage looks like it's over the front driveshaft output, I don't think it would interfere. Is that custom shift linkage? I know nothing about the dana 300.

    Custom is one way to put it. I hobbled something together to just see what it's going to look like.
    Mine came from a jeep CJ. It's cast iron gear no chain and can be run pass. Or driver's side.
    The Dana 300 gives you 2hi- 4hi- 4lo- 2lo rear and just front wheel drive low.

    I can't find one pic of an eco crawler and Dana 300 on the internet the only reason I'm going to it is because of the front diff is pass. Side.

    Thanks for the reassurance about the shifter.

    So I got.this in the mail. No Dana 300 instructions though. But I think I figured the Dana 300 part out but since I don't have another 3k I'm going to wait on nwf for some instructions.
