FJ 60 still stuck in 4 high. Can't get out despite weeks of unlocking hubs, driving in reverse and all the usual methods of unlocking. Any suggestions before I take it to Cruiser shop?

There is a pitman arm on top of the transfercase that all the linkage connects too. On my 1983 fj60 the nut under the arm came loose and allowed the linkage rod to drop down and lock it into low range. After splitting the transfercase, it was obvious what had happened. You cant see the nut without a mirror. Good luck!Mechanical shift. Hubs never rebuilt. Been in 4wd for 6 weeks mostly sitting. Original owner. I will try suggestions and let you know. Thanks for all the help. Mike
Yes, but he says its stuck in 4H, Not in low. there are 2 different shift shafts on the t-case.. The 4H to 2H linkage is in the front of the transfer case and moves horizontally front to rear. the H to N to L is on the top. BUT ...I think his shifter is stuck in 4H and he can't physically move it to 2H. But I guess he probably can move it from 4H to N and to 4L.There is a pitman arm on top of the transfercase that all the linkage connects too.
