That is exactly why I am doing the PT kit....have hubs and an Aussie in the front, just don't like having everything spin all the time. Might do a 62's A440 and a PT case though if I catch a deal.

If you're budget minded you can also remove the viscous coupling and weld the center diff.
can this be done on a 97?

remove the visco .. yes .. bubt weld inside .. don't know ..
Yes. Remove the VC, weld the center diff like any other year.
A small tidbit of parts information to add to this thread:
The 105 series part time Aisin hubs are available from Toyota in NA so you can use the longer splined later series Birfs or Bobby's without any modifications.
So if you are intent on doing this correctly, sticking with Longs and not voiding your warranty, and having the exact correct fit, this might be the ideal solution.

Really?!? How much are they, if you don't mind me asking...
I would love to have more info on how to do this...
Don't weld your CDL! You'll still need it with a welded center differential.
The CDL becomes the 2wd/4wd system, just like with a standard part time conversion.On a 91, I believe so. On later models, the splined section of the birfield is longer and won't fit in a standard Aisin hub.
I run a pair of older Warn hubs on my '93 that came off my FJ40.

It really is just about as simple as what I said. The hard part is keeping the center diff from warping when you weld it. Also, if any of the welds don't hold or there is loose splatter, it could wreak havoc inside your tcase. So, there's a little risk involved. More risk, more reward, right?
I can't take credit for the idea, the guys at Atlanta Custom Creations :: Land Cruiser & Toyota Trucks/SUVs :: Maintenance, Expedition Builds, Restorations clued me in.
I wish I had thought of it before I bought a part time kit. If I was thinking when I installed my kit, I should have realized the same thing.

I thought about doing this when I had my Tcase apart but I'm no welding expert and didn't want to mess up my Tcase.
Go for it.....remember we have an extra one?
Who is it on the board that has the 2nd to last tcase?
How much would that "one of a kind" part run a smart shopper?

that will let your front DS turning all time .. and you must use the shorter birf .. and yes.
Hmmm... that may be the way to go instead of spending the $$ on the kit. Now I just need to get the balls to do it!
sorry I didnt mean to imply i would weld my L just my cd. At the risk of redundence, if I put some 30 spline manual hubs on with my stock birfields then upgrade to a longfield I will then need aisin hubs or a spacer on my exsisting ones?

I thought ( never compare 'em side by side ) the Longs are longer than the factory part time Toyota birf ..
hey all, chris here from nsw, australia.
Got a big problem you may be able to help me with.
I got a 93 model rv landcruiser which came standard as a fulltime setup.
I recently brought a part-time kit from marks 4x4 adaptors and installed it (transfer and hubs) back in january.
Unfortunatly after taking the car on the beach the other day the t/case refuses to fully disengage the front tailshaft.
Any ideas? i read through this thread and thought you guys had a pretty good idea what your on about cheers.
Would love to sort this out asap and by myself so any help is appreciated
