Early transfer case will not bolt up to a late h41, h55, I understand wanting to keep the vacuum t/c, but a newer split case is the way to go..

If that's the case I might stick with an earlier h41 and the conversion kit for the TC. Cruiser parts sells a kit to do exactly that.

I want to keep a little originality haha. (Also the lower low-range of the 3 speed case is nice)

Edit: I was under the impression that the H41 bolts up no problem as long as the input gear on the TC is switched out? I thought it was the H42 that has a different spline count and won't work?

Spend the money on a long fj60 4 speed (to be converted to 5 speed later) and wait on the turbo.

The H41 is all wrong. The wrong spaces on the gearing and no 5th gear. Don’t buy that

I'm not going to install all of this until I have everything ready to go and drop in. Even if that's a few years from now.

I'll do more research on the setup I want trans/tc-wise, but it's definitely getting a turbo

What about an ebrake setup if I have to go to a split case?

Line lock, done! @wngrog

What line lock kit do you use, and do you trust it on hills overnight?

I leave my truck in gear, with the ebrake applied, but my driveway is kinda steep.

If I was going to use it all night I would get one that does not require an electric charge to keep it going. There are manual ones.

This works with a split case
