Project Wrong Way, time for an Orion… Part 1 (1 Viewer)

[BenjaminCA]

Now that I’m 40, it’s time to slow down. And the best way to do that is to drop my transmission and transfer case for a Valley Hybrids Orion! Before I can step back on the Rubicon, my gearing needs to drop. So here is step one, removing the old to prep for the new.

I Need An Orion Transfer Case for the FJ40. I "Easily" Remove The Old One...

your gonna love the orion, quieter and the 4:1 is nice.

I will say I am not a fan of hanging the Orion off the back of trans with no other support, I like the AA propeller mounts or variants of it with bushings.

Just trying to give hope to the idiots (people like me) out there!

Have to chat with Georg about that. Didn’t have a plan really, so I’m open to upgrades.

I tried to show the work… it’s doable.

Still some of the best stuff on Youtube... super enjoyable to watch. Keep it up!

Curious what kept the drum from coming off other than the crossmember ?
Ask Georg for 1 of FC187's mounts for rear of tcase.

“A real drain thing”

Those bibs though…

Interesting. I've never had to remove the ebrake or cover (titty) to pull a transmission/t-case. Or for that matter the rear engine mounts (although removing them is quick and easy and makes sense).

I always look forward to your videos. They're very informative and extremely entertaining! Keep up the good work!
