OK I have been putting this off for a long time, but I finally got all my thoughts together and wrote this up.
To start off with I found a donor late ’85 FJ-60 to take all the parts from. These parts included:
· H42 Transmission with spacer
· Splitcase
· 3F bellhousing
· Clutch pedal
· Slave Cylinder
· Cross member
· Front and rear drive shafts (I just got the ends that attach to the splitcase)
· The hydraulic lines for the clutch
· Boots and shift arms
· Shift linkages
· An extra split case and transmission that was laying around
The other things I got for the project:
· 1” Body Lift
· Marlin ToyBox
· Clutch pedal bucket (these are different from the 60 to the 80 and have to be either custom made or bought from an overseas version)
· HD Transfer case mount from 4xInovations
· Lots of bolts from Fastenal they have to order the m12x1.25 bolts so it takes 1-3 days to get them in
· Gasket kit for the transmission and split case
· Red RTV
· 1.25” Drive shaft spacer for the rear from 4Crawler.com
· 3/8” heim joints and all thread (to make linkages for the split case)
· 16 gauge steel (to cover the transmission hump)
