I have a couple FJ62 MAF’s if you don’t find something else.
Right on, appreciate it.
What would want for one?

Hey Viper,

What would need to happen for this to go down?
Also, you said, “it is sealed and never been opened” ?

Thanks,
Ian
I would try what @Ocho77 have since it is for a 62, mine is for a V6 truck/4runner.
 
Words.

Currently 25% of the way through a Dobisons full suspension install.

I know, I don’t like the wheels either…
 
Banner day for BillyGoat.
Wrapped up the Dobisons suspension and put on some long need mascara…
Thanks to @CenTXFJ60 for harboring said mascara and Ben (can’t recall his call sign here) (edit: thanks Jimmy) @BigHighBlue for the accommodating sale.

Hey y’all.

Good news is that the owner and I struck a deal on this 62. Now mine.

I’m struggling with some rear drivetrain vibrations though.

Yes, it showed up after I installed the new suspension (dobisons medium kit: springs, shocks, shackles, bushings.

Yes, I got new U-joints from CruiserTeq.

Yes, I had the driveshaft balanced and kept the correct phasing.

Yes, I pulled the driveshaft and put it in 4 (front wheel drive) and the problem went away.

Yes, I’ve measured the pinion and output flanges with and without the driveshaft installed, approximately .5 degrees difference.

Also, retorqued the U bolts and checked torque on the shackles.

No play in the flanges.

Same with a few hundred pounds in back or not.

Low key vibration at 21-26 mph.

Tightened the transmission mounts.

What else should I do or look for?

I’ve read every thread I can find looking for the “aha” thing.

Tried 4* shims before the driveshaft rebuild and it did improve it from a heavy rumble to about where it is now. Like I said though, currently the angle is about a half a degree off.

Help.

I chased my rear end vibration all the way to the transfer case. Everything was getting sloppy in the suspension and axle. All that needed to be replaced. The situation improved with every repaired system, but the vibration persisted. Wasn’t until I dropped a new 5 speed transmission in and rebuilt the T case that I realized it was the bearings in the TCase causing 90% of the problems. It went away 100% with a new tyranny and tcase rebuild.

I know. Sucky news, but that’s my opinion after dealing with it for 6-7 years and finally resolving the issue.

🤮

How much of a difference do you think it makes that before all the work, with the sad an saggy suspension, trashed bushings, and worn out u joints, it didn’t vibrate?

I’m about to rotate the driveshaft 180* as the witness marks I put on before were painted over and it feel a hair off center at the output.

Fingers crossed.🤞🏽

I appreciate your reply. I’ll eventually go 5 speed, but not for awhile.

Looks great! I actually like those wheels, never seen them before. Wheels are so hard to get right on these 60s.

They’re for sale. Very affordable for mud members.
They’re Black Rock or something like that.

And thanks for the compliment. I could use it. The 180 driveshaft thing no worky. Almost sounds a hair worse.

Ha! I am thinking the 62 shaft and the early 60 shaft are different lengths because the transmission & tcase spacer. I mentioned it because I would give you my rear driveshaft if it would work for you? Mine is an 84 without the spacer. perfectly good.
 
Shims on the rear fixed my driveline vibration. Lifting up the rear pinion.
Yes, that seems to be the case when the angles don’t match. I had 4* on there before the driveshaft work and it was the same or worse. My flange angles are virtually plumb without shims so something else is at play.

How far off were your flanges and what degree shims did you use?
 
I used 4 degree shims. I was off right around there…. A little less than 4. From what I’ve read this seems to reverse of direction that most people use. I would get vibrations around 25mph

Ugh. Both with and without the driveshaft installed I’m getting less than 1 degree difference. Maybe the driveshaft shop sucked and I’m chasing my tail?
