Chas, how did you get from the 203 to the Toyota case?

Andre, my transfer case choices for now (at least what I have currently) are the stock FJ 60 split case or the Dodge 241HD. The 241 would require different axles front and rear. The stock Toy case would require an adapter. The 47RE trans is 23 spline and from what I can gather the split case Toy...

Jonathan, I also agree that stock is usually the best way to go. Engineers spend allot of time making a vehicle as good as they can within certain constraints. Unfortunately, Toyota never made a diesel wagon in the US and no Cummins was ever put in a diesel wagon. As far as the International...

Clay, Thanks for the offer. I would love to see your 55. What part of the valley are you in? I'm in central / downtown Phoenix. Cummins, I would love to come check them out. Unfortunately that's a little far to go for a test drive. Might be a good excuse to make a trip up the PCH though...

Rhino, thank you. I am still considering running Dana 60's and the 214HD transfer case. The donor truck axles are worthless for this swap though. It has a Dana 80 dual wheel rear and the weak axle disconnect 60 balljoint front. The plus side is that being the 3500 it has the beefier 241HD case...

Thanks for the input. I think I am going to run the 60 T-case and axles. Worst case I could call on Longfield.

I just spoke with High Impact and they do have an option for me. It is to run the Klune underdrive / doubler mated to the split case. That is probably the cheaper option also running about 2k and keeping the stock axles and gearing. The only real question I have now is how strong are the FJ axles?

I do agree that the ISB is probably a bit of overkill for the 60. AS far as effort from what I understand the engine fits rather well and is about the same as doing a 4BT. There was a customer that brought a FJ62 into the dealership I used to work at that had a 6BT but he went with full width...

I am in the planning process of my 83 FJ60 project. The donor vehicle is a 2001 1 ton 4x4 ISB powered Ram. My dilemma is now regarding axle and transfer case selection. I am building this to be as bullet proof as possible for heavily loaded back country exploration while still keeping mileage...
