Land Cruiser transfer case regear & rebuild

I rebuilt & re-geared the transfer case in my 1997 Land Cruiser.  Even with 263k miles on it the bearings that came out looked pristine.  Re-geared to get a much better low range for offroading as well as an improved high range that puts the engine RPM back where it was before the big tires.










I had to machine away part of the inside of the case to fit the physically larger new low range gear.

South Fork Mountain near Molalla, OR

 

Here you have from left to right - St. Helens, Rainier, Adams & Hood.

Mt. Hood is the closest from here.

Turning to face Southeast you see Mt. Jefferson.

And then even a bit more South / Southeast is Mt. Washington (visible between the two trees in left side of frame) and some unknown peaks (between tree in middle and trees on right of frame).

The obligatory Cruiser shot.
