FJ 40 Gearbox Bash Plates

Post by matt.mcinnes »

OK here is a question for all you sad 40 series lovers.
I have fitted a 5 speed in to my FJ40 which means, for those of you who know, the gear box is now around 90mm longer.
So the old bash plate no longer protects all of the transfer case.
Late Model FJ's came with a five speed I belive. If so does any one know which years and models and if they had a longer bash plate as standerd?
I know i can cut and weld the original extending it to match but would prefer a full sprung steel original if i can get one, if they exist. Maybe even a modified 60 serise on a early 2f and 5 speed.

Thanks for all the help Guys.
Cant find a late modle bash plate, so went for a 60 series one. Lengths fine but a little wide.
Angle grinder and welder at the ready. :armsup:
