Same box and transfer can be found in any petrol or diesel (FJ and HJ) 60 and 75 series.

For many years I (like your good self) gave em a good firm reef...... then when I was a front wheel man on a NASCAR we found that a wheel change could save nearly 2 full seconds if we ran the tension wrench over the nuts pre-race....

dont use a standard 3.8 for this, at least get a supercharged model with stronger internals. X2 & make sure the blower is still attached :finger: I've gone away from the twin turbo setup and am now playing with a blower .... Much more fun, more torque, & far easier on the $$$ :armsup:

Re: wheel studs - lube? or no lube?

I've always used a single drop of sump oil per stud every time a
wheel is changed .... (via the dip-stick)

Something my dad always used aswell, so I just continued on with
that idea.

Never had a broken stud or stuck nut in my driving lifetime ....
