Gonna roll the FJ into storage. No time. Building a 460 for my son’s 4x4 n a 351W stroker for something else So the transfer case just became a winter project
Couple of pics of my FJ before going under a tarp
Built a three point jig/bracket that worked like a charm. But I had to sawzall 3/4 “ of the passenger side propeller bracket to make clearance to remove the t-case Sorry. Some of the shots are foggy ( too much case oil on my hands)
No. I think I’ll just build it back like it was for now But the discussion on this thread gives me an idea. It was my opinion all along that the propeller cross member resisted the drive trains torque too muck ( even with the rubber frame rail mounts. ) I might refabricate the bolt up point...
A TON TO THINK ABOUT
Thanks people. So its a 77 4 speed transmission. Dog is gone on 2nd and have been gently grinding that gear for years. I'm well along in puling the t-case. Built a telescoping cross member tonight to support the drivetrain when I remove the propeller and t case this...
So I'd appreciate the details on how much work this is really Does this bolt up to the stock FJ40 T-Case? If not, then I'm looking at ridding myself of the T-Case Cross member (for the Chev V8 conversion) and possibly changing drive shaft lengths regardless. By all means, tell me the steps...
Well I'm fully tooled in my garage with lath milling machine and aluminum tig skills. I'd love to take a crack at it over the winter (weld repair that is) I've never pulled a transfer case Always playing with engines and tranny but never the T Case by itself. So I'll need a bit of...
I just drove a short distance tonight. Came around a corner and sort of missed second gear. (didn't fully clutch and I came off the gas. Truck lurched a bit as the engine deceleration slowed the truck). Seconds later in second gear under mild acceleration, big floor board boom then gzynk...
Can't stand this 200+f running temp. Gonna change the water pump now, g damit
160 d thermostat
190 d fan relay setting and she still settles in at 208-210 on a warm ( and I'm talkin, cool 70 degree day)

Had an overheating problem Ran er right to 251F one day and 235 a couple of times. Was staying cool on the highway (when the motor generates the most heat) so the problem was air flow at ow speeds. I had an electric fan in there but it wasn't shrouded. So I built a rectangular frame around...
