I did make a custom shaft for the transmission to transfer case. It was made from an OEM Toyota transmission output shaft.
You can’t make the drivetrain shorter because the 722.6 transmission output shaft and hub is as short as it can be. The output shaft on the 722.6 transmission is the same...
That is true for the Mercedes 722.6 as well, you would need a TCU to control the transmission.
Depending on what kind of injection pump you run on the Om606, you have a few options to control the transmission with an OEM TCU or a stand alone unit.
In any case, if your TCU gets damaged ( OEM...
" I bought a license plate frame with 12 volt LED light. " You kind of answered your own question there.
If the frame states 12v LED, than you shouldn't need anything else to make them work.
However LEDs have polarity, so you have to pay attention how you wire them up.
Maybe try...
You could swap out your third members from the OEM 4:10 to 3:73 from an Fj60, that would give you 10% overdrive.
There are some gear options for the transfer case also, talk to Georg at Valley Hybrids.
I did go with the radiator that's in there because it fits perfectly behind the large intercooler.
Also my radiator is berried behind a few things like intercooler, transmission cooler, engine oil cooler, power steering cooler and the Ac condenser.
I figured I should give the engine the best...
The om617 is a really good engine, but not for a 60 or an 80 LC.
I do have a 40 series with an OM617 engine and an H55 in it and it's pretty nice to drive.
Not going to win any races with it, but it will get to where I need to go.
You should look into OM606 a bit deeper before you rule it out as a viable candidate.
With an upgraded injector pump ( 7.5mm ) and a larger turbo it can produce close to 500hp and more than enough torque to move the 80s LC
and still get way better gas mileage than any gas engine.
Just my $.02

The problem is more than likely in your Power Window Relay ( small green box in drivers door ). See red square in wiring diagram.
There are two small relays in there that need to be changed.
You'll be perfectly fine driving it to the shop.
Guys brake these on the trails and drive home with front wheel drive only in 4 wheel Hi. One of the big advantage of having an FF rear axle.
The axle only drives the wheels, does not carry any weight in the FF.
Here are some pictures of the axles next to each other.
Both are from a 60s FF axle. ( OEM )
Right one ( short spline ) no locker
Left one ( long spline ) cable locker
This should help.
See pump and switch in red squares, no relay in the washer circuit.
Blue-White wire is ground trough the washer switch and the Blue wire is positive from wiper fuse.
