D'oh! I think I fixed it, but adding the link was being super weird (can't tell if it's this busted-ass site or not) Anyway, it's a set of rounded edge worm-drive clamps like this: *if the pic link even works... I had only used the inners, but they've been holding for years. I found one of...

Probably not reading this as close as I should, but can you just use this kit? Toyota FJ Cruiser CV Axle Repair Clamps

I followed the FSM exactly like the pic below and it worked great. A fresh AA battery with some wire taped to both ends did the trick and I was able to control the rotation with ease. Take your time establishing the matchmarks and line them up with a small straightedge to either the bolt holes...

This almost feels like the good ol' days when people would post actual content! Good on ya for tackling this - it will certainly be worth the effort. Having just completed a re-gear, I also found out the e-locker actuator is very particular in it's pinion gear position. Definitely worth taking...

Don't know how far we'll get with this, but worth a try... 1998 Limited, push-button 4WD with 2WD lo switch beyond that, essentially stock drivetrain. A few months ago - while driving, pressed the 4WD button, light goes on. Moments later, a high speed grinding noise occurs. I quickly stop...

What's really gonna bake your noodle is when you find out you meant plopped :)

I have the exact same springs as you on Dobinson's IMS 3rd Gen Fts & outboard 4th Gen Rrs. No front sway bar, OEM rear with longer links. Coastal bumpers f&r with 10K winch. 285 BFG AT KO3s @ 35-ish PSI on LTD 16" wheels and 1.25" wheel spacers. The ride is...ok. Firm is a word I would use that...
