Well fella's I finally did it I sold the daily driver and am now driving 100% Toyota vehicles. My wife has the Camery so I am driving my FJ-40 until I get the FJ-62 built up. Let's hear it for fuel injection and running open air lockers on the street. (I just hate killing the Swampers though!) I keep choking on the almost 1K (and 1-2 months out) for the Marks adapter for the 1990 split case from AA. Any other options? With the sale of the daily driver the war budget is healthy but I am going to try to slip in the purchase of a JD4 bender (2K with dies).

Does anyone know if a centered Dana 44 will fit un-cut under the wagon? If so off what? This way I could just use the GM TC off the 4L60E.

Thanks for any help! :beer:

Sure, you can shop D44's or Ford 9" (better idea) until you find one that will fit under your FJ-62 with minimal work.

You are looking for 59" WMS to WMS. It is OK to go narrower in the rear.

I still maintain that you can run a centered output transfer case with an offset rear in a wagon.

Compound angles are just that, compound. They can be made to work just as easily as a single angle.

I am 4" offset to the side with only an 18" driveline.....

I have or can have the bellhousing adapter (I think it is just like the marks) available for sale if you are interested. I have it currently in my cruiser mating a 350 to a 4speed. Send me an email if it is an option for you it would take me a acouple of days to pull it.

Arndog,

Thank you for the offer, however the adapter I need is for a FJ-62 Split case to a 4L60E (GM auto).

If you can put pen to paper on the compound angle, the rule of thumb is that if you don't have more than 30* total angle up, down or sideways you should be good.

I would agree with you on the Ford 9". It is nice haveing a drop out 3rd member. (and they are tough!)

Hmm. Is the offset you have on your wheeler or daily driver? Do you run a Dub. Carden Joint on the rear shaft? Since this thing will see regular HW speeds... but might be worth a try and swap it out if it proves a problem. It would shure cut expences to leave it as is!

BTW what is WMS? Thanks!

How about the rear end out of a late model Toyota 4x4 pu??

Ya I had thought about a rear end from a Tundra or Sequia but I have no idea what the part's trolls would want for one. Not a bad idea for a V6 pick up..

Wheel Mounting Surface to Wheel Mounting Surface.

This is generally where an axle is measured for width.

I dont know them, I went to school in near Sacramento.
I have only been out of school 10 years:eek: . My wife says she knows a "Gonzo" here, she grew up around here. I have lived in Ione about 8 years.
And yes being this close to the Rubicon is great!
