Hello,
I have a 1985 FJ60 (built in October) that I would like to put an H55F in this summer and just have a couple of general questions:
1) My FJ was built in October of 1985, so the H55F installation will be fairly straight forward right and I will not need to make a lot of modifications like the FJ 60s that were built in April of 1985 and earlier?
2) Will I need a different emergency brake set up with the H55F or can I use my stock E brake?
3) What are some things that you wish people would have told you before you upgraded to an H55F? I have found a few great articles detailing the installation instructions, some of them with parts lists. But were there any surprises you ran into, or additional parts or tools you wish you would have bought ahead of time etc.?
4) Once the transfer case is split, would you recommend replacing anything? I know this depends on the truck and how many miles are on it, and I know I probably wont know what I will need to replace until we split the transfer case open, but are there any parts that are commonly replaced within the transfer case?
I am working on putting together a master parts list that I will post when it is finished so you guys can look it over and tell me if I am missing anything.
I appreciate your guys help!
