Received the new transfer case linkage from Froehlich Suspension Technology today. Now just have to find time to install it between work and getting my house in Toledo ready for new tenants by the first of the month. The new linkage is adjustable for the drop crossmember with new brackets and rod ends instead of just plastic bushings. Sent from my SCH-M828C using Tapatalk 2 |

Can we get a write up on that winch once you test it out? |

Drove the XJ over to Tommudd's today and worked on it finally. Been working 6-7 days a week and finally made time to take care of a few things. Finally got the Froehlich Suspension Technologies transfer case linkage installed and adjusted! What a PIA! It replaces everything from the stock shift lever down to the transfer case. Had to remove the entire console and remove the shift lever from the floor, replace the stock piece that goes through the floor at the shift lever with the one from FST, remove all the stock linkage that attaches to the body and transfer case. Then attach the new shift lever at the xfer case and adjust the linkage. That was the hardest part. I think just that part (adjusting it ) took about 4 hours to get it just right, but now the linkage only attaches at the shift lever and the xfer case. With the stock linkage, the rods attach at the body with a lever and 2 separate rods and was binding since I installed the drop cross member and long arm kit. It seems to go in and out of 4wd nice now, no binding at all! Also finally wired up those LED back-up lights. I CAN SEE!! Then we tackled the new winch! The bolt pattern on my DnD front bumper winch plate was off by about 1/4"! Just enough so we had to enlarge the holes with a unibit. The way the winch plate is attached to the bumper it was a royal pain to get the rear bolts on. Before we got that far tho' , the winch is big enough that it wouldn't get close to the bolt holes because the front hoop was in the way! So we cut it off! I love Metabo cut-off wheels!! I have a 32" stinger from Rusty's to replace it anyway!! Well, guess that's for another day. Tom took a couple pics of the winch, maybe he'll post 'em up for me! |
