Same setup here except 1in more lift, they declined it after asking me about the car. I specified same value :/

I am currently insured with Hagerty with a stated value policy ($35K) with a Cherished Salvage Coverage. 2.5" Lift, 35" Tires, Bumpers, Winch, etc.

This will do reverse lights nss and dash shifter indicator

The important connectors needed for an engine swap are located near the Toyota ECM, behind the glove box. I marked pin 7 for you. IH2 is the other important connector, which has most of the dash gear wiring.

You need a copy of your EWD. 😁 You can directly power the reverse lights from the GSS-3000. Send power to pin 7 on IH1. It should be a R-B wire, but depends on year and model. This is from a 1997 EWD.

Edited to add that one should use the Backup Terminal for powering the reverse lights, rather than the Reverse Terminal. The former can carry more current.

Doesn't the GM NSS on the transmission provide that? Dakota Digital GSS-3000 can be used for reverse lights, as well as dash gear lights. I am using Swaptime Muscle Car Module which has reverse light capability. This drives a relay.

Official: 51 ft•lbf Yes, my 1996 LX450 Manual doesn't show the torque values. I just went outside and checked those bolts, at least the accessible ones. I don't recall what I originally torqued them to, but they are definitely at, or near 51...

Yes, the parts in question are those you showed above. And I am using the same transmission FSM as the one you showed above with the 27 ft-lbf. Shown below is the Repair Manual FSM with the 51 ft-lbf.

Supposedly will work. I haven't tried it myself. One needs a wiring adapter, or make their own. https://cruiserteq.com/cdl-conversion-harness-fits-8x-450-applications-elec36410kit/

OK, a little more sleuthing, because you piqued my curiosity. I frequently refer back to my copy of the 1994 service manual, because that's the latest one Toyota included torque values on the components diagrams, but, in this case, it's the same...

However, I do find these, in the transmission repair manual unit repair): The nomenclature is lacking, but these are the same parts I referenced above.

I can't find (at the moment) a specification, by name, for the transmission rear case adapter subassy to the transfer assy front case, which I assume are the two parts you're trying to connect:

Junkyard is your best bet, or buy a 100 series CDL (or T-case), and get the wiring adapter. https://partsouq.com/en/search/all?q=41450-60070 https://en.impex-jp.com/parts/new/search.html?partNo=+41450-60070

Isn't it already? Explain please.

Fresh batch of hardware back from the zinc platers! Enough to build a couple engines.

After drinking my morning coffee, I think I would change the angle of how the cable mounts at the transmission, rather than at the Toyota gear shift. I am not 100% this would work, but it would be much easier for people to implement. The aim is...

Phill is a punk who has his lips permanently attached to Joeys ass...

I mean, he is only going from LA to Denver. I10, I15, I70. He will never be off an interstate.

Pull the short ends and swap the sides. They'll be good for another 300k. Side of the road maintenance – ask any Aussie.

I don't think this has been mentioned, and since you have mechanical ability, I would prioritize checking the front wheel bearings and the bottom knuckle studs . Make sure the latter are torqued to factory specs. Those bottom studs can leave you...

Thanks for continued advice. Maybe to help clarify, I have a full garage at home and have been built many many cars. I’m moving from a very well built TJ ((including a fabbed 4 link I did on my own) to a LC due to space needs. Once I’m home it...

IME a commonly neglected maintenance item on "new to me" 80 Series is the lack of regular service (greasing) of U-joints, driveshaft slip yolks, and the steering knuckles (which lube the CV joints and spindle bushings). So on top of (already...

What I would do depends on how I felt about the rig. If it seems reasonably solid mechanically, I wouldn't worry about anything more complicated than a jack and a spare. If it feels like it's on its last legs, same answer, but film everything and...
