    IMG_0861.jpg Exhaust done, althought I'm not too happy how it came out,I will modify again to separate pipe more from front shaft. Mean while, this project is considered complete.

    Today I build a connection to use rear differential lock light to show status of my center differential lock, having a rear mechanical lsd I didn't have a use for that light.

    Wow, OUTSTANDING!


    After watching the video below, I believe this is what is happening in your clip above:
    The first and second movement are:
    2WD to 4WD Locked to AWD
    The third and fourth movement are:
    Hi/Lo

    Is this correct?

    I've got the crazy idea to transfer the gears/shaft and forks into a FJ case, so that the manual shifting is retained but have the option to unlock the center diff. I will certainly have to alter, possibly make custom, shifting rods and add a detent for the extra stop.

    I can’t view the wiring schematic :-/
    If I was adding this to a manual transmission, what electrical components would I need?

    You going with an electronic tcase?
    You’d need the 4wd computer and plugs

    Send your e-mail to me to send you the schematic. I don’t know about manual transmission schematic, it is something to check with care for not getting mistakes

    To put together a parts list for building a custom harness.

    Sent. The case will mount to a manual & automatic, maybe a different spline count but that can be changed
