It’s a thing of beauty. It’s in and on the mounts.

None of this would be possible without @samc2447 @FJ62DadWagon and @bottombracket

It’s all mostly bolt on from here.

I was praising you for the odds and ends bolts you sent. I didn’t have to steal much of Coopers hardware stash.

[Cruiser Cult]

A transformative swap for the FJ62. Excited for you @HemiAlex

 

[Skniper]

@Skniper I’m coming for you.

Haha….bring a welder.

 

[HemiAlex]

Haha….bring a welder.

If you have the brackets, I’ll weld them in for you.

I may even bring the 62 for reference.

 

[HemiAlex]

It lives. It’s not completely done, but it’s alive.

 

[HemiAlex]

@EscapeWagon62 can you confirm the mods to your t case range shifter? We need to shorten it, and I’ve got a good idea now.

I need to modify mine soon. I mostly want to document this to make it easier to find for everyone later.

Be super careful slipping that linkage over the post that goes into the case. I see you’ve got it taped up now to keep it from falling, but it’s defiantly gonna want to drop when you install the link arm. Keep a strong magnet handy. Maybe keep a bit of the tape on there close to the case itself. Just enough to get it started. Remove that cotter pin and disassemble that arm to make it easier to manage.

 

[cruisermatt]

You just cut a few inches off the linkage and re weld it. It's pretty easy

I didn’t do that, but I did manage to put it in 180*. I had to open the case for far more dumb reasons.

3 times opened it up. I got really good at messing things up.

I’ve got rough measurements. I’ll end up checking shifter orientation on the truck.

Thanks for talking to me on the starter issue that was my fault.
