I was able to modify the fuel tank breather line and extend it up to the front passenger wheel well. That fixed the fuel dumping issue on steep inclines. It's geared so low it will go down The Hill at our lake property without touching the brakes. And it will go up The Hill without touching the...

Interested in a trade?

I wouldn’t hold your breathe. OP hasn’t posted in this thread since Feb 17. Also, Dallas is shut down because of Coronavirus. I expect @rivrat will be back around once the pandemic slows down and things get back to “normal.”

Are you selling these drawer systems for the FJ40?

Thanks so much! The fabricator did a really good job. I used a Solo Performance Stealth series muffler, which is really quiet. The gears are much louder than the exhaust! It should also pair nicely if I ever swap to a 2H or 12HT diesel.

Also, thank you for the compliment on the white wheels! I vacillated between white, black, and grey.

That's what Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters recommended when I purchased the ARB lockers. In hindsight, I should have kept the 4.10s or even gone to 3.70s. It will definitely go to 3.70s if/when I swap to diesel. But right now it's got an H55F, 1.1:1 High, 4:1 Low, and 4.56 diff gears. I'm trying...

Agreed. I think it's the t-case gears. They were loud as hell yesterday. But they seem to be breaking in. They're not as loud today.

My fabricator finished the 3" exhaust and skid plate yesterday morning. After buttoning up a few items, I took it for a shakedown run out to the lake. I put about 60 miles of mixed driving on it and I'm getting a LOT of gear whine at highway speeds. I'm not sure if it's the H55F, the...

Yeah, with the H55F, split case, and rear parking drum, it’s pretty short. I think it was about 17” flange-to-flange. But the guys at Tom Woods DS weren’t concerned about it.

Sorry it's been so long since my last update. I was battling a coolant leak FOREVER. I finally swapped over to the late-model 4-bolt style upper and lower thermostat housing, which solved the problem. It's finally out of the garage... ...and in the fabrication shop getting an exhaust and...

How much for just the 2H engine? Local pickup.

Thx! I blatantly stole them from...someone. ‘Can’t remember who. :rofl:

Another question - I have the HJ47 aluminum bellhousing. I need the braces that reinforce the bellhousing at the sides of the 2H/12HT. Can I use the braces from an HJ75 or HJ60? Or are the bellhousing braces HJ47 specific? Edit: I did more research and the part numbers are the same...

Looks awesome!
