WTD: FJ40 xfer case bits and rear diff possib(mint prefered)

[williamhamilton]

Hi guys, we have a customer with a totally mint FJ40 ('77) and we are rebuilding a lot of the running gear.

Looking for an in great condition idler gear and shaft from the transfer case - current one's hardening has worn off and gear has a bunch of corrosion from bad storage.

May also be looking at a rear diff as the current one sounds like a bunch of shite!

It is important the the parts are in great condition as this is a special vehicle I would prefer to buy from someone here rather than head to Oz and US and new parts

thanks in advance all.

cheers

I've got a bunch of bits leftover after the rebuild & re-gear of my 1991 LJ71 t-case. All the gears & the old idler shaft which look to be in good condition, plus a brand new idler shaft, idler bearings & thrust washers left over from the Terrain Tamer rebuild kit (my Mark's adapters gear set came with a modified idler shaft setup)

I know there were a few minor variations on the cruiser t-cases over the years so you'd want to research compatibility, but shoot me a PM if any of it will work for you.

Cheers
Clint

Clint I could be keen on your transfer case parts if they aren't needed, My old case kept throwing itself out of low box so your bits may help with a rebuild.

you want to grab one of those transfer rebuild kits from terrain tamer they aren't very dear, new bearings (jap ), seals, gaskets, idler pin, thrust washers and all that shit, idler gear wont be in their kit but they may stock them they make and supply a few gears

Hi Derk, seals, bearings are all easy to sort out the gear and shaft less so.

be easier and smarter to biff the old transfercase and throw a split transfercase on it much stronger and easier to find bits for

early rebuild kit $214 AUD all bearings seals gaskets, idler shaft and thrust washers ex aussie, type your credit card number in and its all on your door step in a week allfourx4 is quick and easy to deal with, onlineautoparts in Oz probably have them as well and also good prices and easy to deal with I didn't bother looking at their site , would be surprised if terrain tamer didn't have the kits for the early transfer cases available over here as well , all that leaves you is finding a secondhand 40 year old worn out replacement idler gear if your customer was clever he would get rid of that flogged out old transfer case and throw a later split case on it its hardly going to devalue his mint 1977 fj40
