FJ62 t-case ground strap location (real time)

[Skniper]

Can't remember where the rear ground strap attaches to the transfer case on the 62...and can't find a photo ( and I know there's prob about a million photos here).

Does it matter which bolt it attaches to??

No - as long as long as it’s a clean mounting point and not covered in paint or dirt. Closer to the body is better.

Is the original attachment point the idler shaft retention bolt?

No idea if stock, but mine went here

Yes that is the factory location, though not my favorite.....that's a lot of RTV.....

It’s aviation form-a-gasket #3, never really fully hardens and never leaks. Thanks to @cruisermatt for turning me onto it

Had to source a longer pre-made ground cable from the parts store, attached it to the idler bolt in question above (w new threadlock goo).
It was the best spot for what I have (for now).

Finally trying to glue this rig back together after sitting apart for too long. Lots of little details, the punch list is long.
