Things I'm glad I didn't know!!

Here's a few photos of areas of the FJ45LV I'm glad I didn't know about when I drove it home!

The brake hose was "patched with electrical tape, the brake line was welded/brazed in several places and the spring pin isn't even bolted in (not to mention the wrong one)!

It's good I plan on tearing the FJ45LV apart COMPLETELY. I've already found a steering box full of grease and the adjusting shims laying in the bottom in a mangled pile, a rubber cork for the front axle drain plug and the drive shafts were each held on by two bolts at each end and the list goes on!
