Well, I've come to the conclusion that it's the right vehicle at the wrong time of life.
With two teenagers who are about to start driving, life is about to get expensive. Plus, it's too tall to fit in my undersized suburban garage leaving me to do rust repair (the next logical step for this...
Selling my 1988 FJ62. It is modified and ready to roll. Bought the vehicle a few years ago with the intention of building a family-friendly off road vehicle. Most of the work was done by the PO, but I decided to do an LS swap. Unfortunately, I've lost interest in it.

Not sure if I can post this here (or if it belongs in the vehicle classifieds), but kind of want to deal locally (I'm in Durham).

Other more experienced folks will weigh in, but it’s my understanding that most people source a 2wd drive train (LS with a 4l60e behind it). There’s an adapter kit from advance adapters that will let you mate the Toyota xfer case to the donor driveline. So, yes. Keep the Toyota xfer case.
Something similar happened to me, too. In my case, the 2wd/4wd linkage arm on the transfer case was hitting the floor of the vehicle keeping the transfer case from fully engaging. At Matt's suggestion, I flipped the linkage arm over and the problem was fixed. Maybe that's happening to you too...
Cleaning out the garage after an LS swap. I have many more smaller items (mostly under the hood stuff) that are not listed, so feel free to PM me if there's something you're looking for.

Used the engine hoist for 4 swaps and it still works like a champ. Balancer comes with it. - $125 SOLD
Parts washer with pump - used for just one project (I over bought); need the space more than the washer. - $100 SOLD
Would anyone like an old 62 gas tank? Replaced mine and need to dispose of this one. It does have pin holes and leaks, but it's a 62 gas tank (NLA). Just thought someone might be able to repair it or line it.
Hi. I actually have two used ac condensers, but they are both for an FJ62 (I think there are some slight differences). One came with my vehicle and I had to wrestle it off prior to my LS swap, so it's a little worse for wear. The other I bought on ebay just for the drier-to-condenser pipe, so I...
Use them to pull the transmission toward the engine - with moderate pressure. That way you're not having to lift, wiggle, and push/pull at the same time; you can just lift and wiggle and let the straps pull the transmission. Also x2 on what @dbbowen said - sometimes the input shaft splines line...
