I’m about to do this same swap on my 3rd gen Tacoma. I’m curious, you skipped the entire tab removal, did you end up disassembling the entire case or did you figure out another way?
Sorry I must have skipped filming that. I ended up stuffing the hole with rags to catch metal debris and cutting it off with a borrowed dremel tool with a tiny cut off wheel.
no worries, i know how that goes. That's good enough, i was going to attempt that before anything else anyway. Thanks for the info and making the video.
What year fj tcase can u use and does it bolt directly to 2nd gen Tacoma transmission my truck is a 4cylinder 5speed as well are all the bolt holes the same ??
Great video. Informative and cool at the same time.
Thank you!
I did the same mod and i made the same mistake of pulling that gearset out too far as well. Lol. Had a hell of a time trying to reinstall. 😂
Following this. Looking forward to seeing how you wire everything up.
So I will only be wiring for the dash light. I am going to be running solid axle with lockouts in front
Gotcha, yeah I’ve got IfS and lockers and I’m kinda wanting to stay that way for now. I wonder if it’s easier then SAS for the transfer case anyways
Your wife is a much better sport than mine.
Have you done the wiring yet for the dash lights? If so, have you made a video on it? Where can I find that info

This is where I went thru and figured out the lights. Hopefully this helps!
Did you end up removing the small ear on the 2/4wd rods? It appears the 4wd goes backwards and the ear would not affect it…?
Yes I did have to grind that off. Used a 2” cut off wheel on a die grinder.

07-14 FJ cruiser automatic transmission. That case is a direct bolt on once you swap the little adapting coupler.
