Did you get a chance to compare it with Inchworm gears? I seem to recall SBechtold writing something about using heat to re-shape part of gas tank to make Inchworm fit. I'll have to dig around. The 2 systems are very similar and I'd like to find out the strength and weakness of each.

I used a couple of heat guns to heat up the end of the tank nearest the transfer case. I then reshaped the front of the tank so that it would clear the transfer case. Reshaping the tank worked like a charm and I didn't lose any fuel capacity from the tank.

Our FJC had the second ever production unit from Inch Worm Gear. We blew up the output shaft within a couple of trail runs and decided to go with the Marlin Crawler unit instead.

Sorry to here about your output shaft.
I received a call from Jim and he informed me that a few FJ Cruiser owners running Lefty with the stock Toyota output shafts had broken the output shafts. Apparently the weight of the FJC is a bit much for the stock Toyota output shaft. He offered to replace my stock output shaft with a Longfield chromoly output shaft. Even though I had zero problems with the stock shaft in my Lefty, I opted to have the chromoly one installed. LT I'm sure Jim would be willing to help you out as well. Jim is now installing Longfield output shafts for anyone planning to run lefty in an FJC. I think it was pretty cool of Jim to proactively call me about the output shaft and install the Longfield.
