Builds 2001 LC HZJ78 AK -RESTORATION- For Overland

[mt72]

36120-60351 for TC
You will have to buy all of the small pieces to make the manual TC lever to work, but they are available.

Nice, good to hear you figured it out.

The TC looks very similar to the HZJ79 too
Merci for the part number I will consider this before buying the TC

Glad you have it resolved! I too at some point will switch to the manual lever. It really does not make much sense to have a push button transfer case when I have manual hubs anyways. But the true purpose for me would be to remove one more point of failure in the system. All about reliability for me.

It's true that in term of reliability it's the way to go...

Are you still running the R151f transmission? Because if so the spare transmission you posted earlier would be a direct swap in and has a manual transfer case.

Yes the one I have in my garage HZJ79 is a spare to rebuilt with 5th gear over drive they sure look very similar

 

[AirheadNut]

In that case you could also just swap over the manual transfer case.

I went through the battery tray situation since the double tray is not ready and the Odyssey 31 are too high

Went ahead to sandblast the actual tray and added a pole to triple lock the new battery on the way. I like the dual marine purpose battery high crank start and 2 pole for my accesoires and grounds

I missing the Mongrel rear bag that hold the maxtrak from outback : The Mongrel | OGS - https://www.outbackgearsolutions.com/product-page/the-mongrel

Anyone know the torque on the steering pit arm nut?

I do not have the spec for a coil spring truck. the leaf spring truck is 130 ft-lb.

Seems legit... at least your trading one round eye for another. Great color too!

This guy purchased the small hoist that used for the resto and he said would be doing the dodge on it but I like the vintage color No trade sorry
