    Wow. Thanks for that. I may just try to find another jshift case locally and offload my electric shift case.

    Thanks for the tips.

    Just got the NWF setup completed and shifting through everything properly. I'll measure drive shafts this week, install over this weekend and ready to roll after the 4th.

    Should be as easy as measure mating surface to mating surface of the NWF box which I think is 6-1/2” and then add that to the front, and remove from the rear.

    That's how I did it. 7.5" for the TG adapters and case. Sent that off to Tom Woods and had my shafts in the day I did the install. Best feeling when I put it in reverse in lo/lo and it actually backed out of my garage. lol

    I know based on my measurements I can just add/subtract 2" from the existing drive shafts and call it a day, but I am going to bolt it all up anyway for test fitment so there's no reason not to take a proper measurement before I drop off the shafts.

    I have been pretty good about it and taken the cases downstairs to the garage for any serious hammer work. Don't think I've chipped anything or cracked the countertops yet.

    For those who need the manual shift fork and splined gear ring for the ecocrawler, where are you sourcing them? My thought is to find a 1990s Toyota case and pull them from there, but wondering if anyone else has a better way? They are expensive from Toyota... Thanks

    Lots of dust and custom dents, Check Build
    Might as well just use an early manual tcase as a donor in that case and leave the electric one in tact.

    You've got me beat!
