83 Jdm as flop build, ditched the 88

[mattlosch]

top or forward?

[mattlosch]

cause like you said adam where the shifter goes is on the case not tranny, but it has rails comin out the front too

[axled89]

it looks like the one you need .   gear driven top shift  good for duals.   

[toyotanner]

the shift rails (the slots for the shifter) are in the transfercase so its top shift

[83 Crawler]

matt you will tell the difference mine has 2 long things coming out the front which means its a forward shift

[mattlosch]

[axled89]

 

[mattlosch]

adam is gonna make my legit!

[83 Crawler]

adam is one busy man. mines sitting in his shop right now. and austins trucks are out there and so is my buddy matts

[89sastoyo]

haha I know so ryan did matt get his truck done yesterday?? I will finish his this weekend cause all he needs is the seats bolted in and stuff for right now right? and then he wants to bbuy some steel and make a skid type thing for the cases right?

Ryan your truck your going to finish lol its an easy task haha I will find those flanges for you cause I know I have some is it second or third gen flange on the driveline or first gen and you have second or what are the bolt holes small in the driveline or big??


Austens trucks getting finished this weekend and  I'm trying to set matts duals up then get them in the truck next weeked.


Matt i'm giong to draw that picture up and post it in a second.

[89sastoyo]

so basically I don't wanna rock a cross member like the one on my truck because they are somehwat weak and harder to get the floor nice on the inside because they make it so you have to cut more out. Since you have a small body lift and want a complete flatt belly I was thinking we should just do a piece of rectangle tubing on the bottom of the t cases like where factory cross member would bolt up but instead of having it bend and go down lower just run it flat on the inside of teh frame rails. Idon't know how hard it would be to do but I think it would work out better so we'll figure it out. I just know the ones like mine bow and are fairly easy to break. I tried drawing a picture but it sucked lol so I decided to explain it instead.

[mattlosch]

lol that sounds good man... i kinda understand what your explaining... it sounds good.. need it strong cause we like to rally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got my v6 adapter in today so i got everything i need to put all my duals together! and we dont gotta do my cases sunday if your gonna be to busy.. we can just try to bust it out next weekend if you wanan

[89sastoyo]

naw since your cases aren't the ones in your truck if you want to just bring everything you have over I can set them up its pretty quick and easy. I haven't ever done the v6 adaptor but im assuming that it just bolts the the front of the crawl box. I can set the duals up in like a half hour or less. Do you have shifters for both cases? That helps a lot because some cases interfer so if I can test them while there out of the truck to make sure thats easiest so I don't have to pull them again after there in.

[83 Crawler]

yes matts truck is good he bolted in the seats and put his tires on.


all i need to do is put my triple drilled flang on and bleed my clutch.

[mattlosch]

i have the shifter for my top shift, dont know if the shifter is still on the forward i got from ryan..... i will bring everything out tomorrow?

[89sastoyo]

sweet deal I kinda looked over the v6 intructions im pretty sure thats what adapts the different input sizes.


Next weekend you'll had dual:D. I don't know if we'll be able to get them in but I can get the cross member somewhat made and what not like atleast measurements and how we will do it.

[83 Crawler]

i should have left the shifter for you

[axled89]

when i did my dauls i had only one shifter for the top shift cases.   so i looked at the forward shift stock case one, and it was the same so i used it.   if you need to use the stock one it works matt.
