Are you running the 4L60E? If you are, the AA 4L60E to split case adapter bolts uses to the OEM FJ60 rear mount and you can use the FJ60 cross member. The FJ40 and FJ60/62 frames have a slightly different taper, but it's an easy adjustment. My son is using this method in his 40. beats reinventing the wheel.
 
yes 4l60E with an 81 split case, You know of cross member for sale? i looked in the classifieds and replied to one but have not heard back.
 
I will have one, if you're not in a super-hurry, as soon as I pull the engine and trans from an FJ62 donor vehicle. It will be a few weeks, so you are in a hurry, you can send a PM to Georg at Valley Hybrids @orangefj45. He may have the setup. The best part is that it already clears the front output.

You're looking for: 2 side brackets, the cross member and rubber transfer case mount.

Hey Dick, do you have any pictures of the 60 series crossmember in a 40? I didn't realize that it would work so easily. I'm using a 60 series isolator, but I made my own mount. I'm helping Manns69 with his build. I'm just wondering what the "easy adjustment" is. Thanks!

I'll be stopping by my son's shop later today to help set up his power steering and I'll take a few pictures.

My new shop should be finished about May. Drag it down, I should have an empty bay ;).

Here are pictures of the FJ60 cross member in a FJ40 frame.

We welded nuts to the backside of 1/4" plates so the 60 mounts could be removed as in the OEM installation. The plates will get welded to the frame, and you'll need to drill or torch opening in the frame to accommodate the nuts so the plate will lay flat on the frame.

The OEM nut plates that are welded to the bottom of the FJ60 side brackets need to be cut loose. Once you have 1/4" the plates tacked to the frame and the side brackets bolted in, you can bolt the cross member to the trans adapter and mark through the holes in the cross member, locate the new hole locations on the side brackets and drill the side brackets. Then just weld the OEM nut plates back on at their new location on the side brackets and presto!, one rear mount. It only took about 2 hours to complete.
 
That looks pretty slick! Thanks for the pics!

Don't worry Dick, he was calling me Dick, not you. Its kind of funny since that's your name, not mine. :hillbilly:
