1FZ-FE / A343F install. Tips?

[12bit]

Sooooo... hows it run?

Certainly you stayed up all night and drove it to work today, right?

T-case is still on the ground. I need to overthink that reinstallation before I proceed with the fun stuff. I suspect it will be a pain.

That pain can be severely reduced, along with your potential dental damage reduction if you beg/borrow/steal a HF transmission jack (the big one, not the cheesy one) for the Tcase lifting. That thing has a wonky shape and that jack with it's chains does a great job of holding just like how it needs to be before stabbing.

Engine hoist on longest hole extension in through the pass side door and and a 8 foot sling down through the shifter hole in a choker configuration around the tcase is how I got mine in place.
