Sale pending. Sorry for the slow response.

I have a never used, never assembled Orion transfer case. It's the 16 spline model that mates to a 4 speed transmission. This is the DIY version that requires dismantling your existing transfer case. This version also retains the rear output parking brake, as opposed to the fully assembled one...

I'd like to do this swap as well. I'd be concerned with the length of the rear driveshaft when using AA's kit, especially if the rear axle hasn't been moved back. Downey has an adapter for this swap and it's only 1" thick, as opposed to AA's 6.75" long adapter.

Yep, that's exactly what I did. What a moron I am. Thanks all!

I have recently completed a disc brake conversion on my early '75. I used a minitruck donor axle and bought a pair of '79-'84 FJ-40 steering arms in order to use the TREs I already had. However, now my tie rod appears to be way too long. With driver's side at full left lock, the passenger side...

I used Rockstomper's kit and love it. Power steering alone wasn't enough for my scrawny arms to move aired down 37s on slickrock. I added the ram assist and no longer suffered from sore, tired arms at the end of the day. Completely transparent on the highway, too.

Hehe, that's exactly what I used it for, too.

I ended up calling Longfield. Turns out, you guys were right, although the Longfields do have a groove for the c-clip. The bolt/washer is necessary when using the Longfields on an otherwise stock FJ-40 axle, since Longfields are the length of minitruck birfields. The minitruck birfs are...

I was missing a couple parts from the minitruck donor, so I made a trip to the junkyard earlier today. When I pulled the hubs off a 4runner, I found a bolt/washer that looks factory. Toyota puts this in there from the factory merely as something to pull on the shaft for seating the c-clip? That...

'75 drum brake axle getting the minitruck brake treatment. I upgraded to 30 spline Longfield inners/outers at the same time. I'm using the Aisin lockouts from the minitruck. The Longfield webpage says I do not need a martack with these shafts. The walkthrough I'm using from the web says no...

Rocky Road has 'em, too (scroll to the bottom of that page). Sometimes they're slow, but they seem to have improved lately. I ordered some 5 degree steel shims from them about a month ago and received them in less than a week.

I had 16 bolt beadlocks for about a year. In that year, I broke a total of 8 bolts among 4 wheels and fought leaks constantly. My constant tightening of the bolts to stop leaks was probably the main reason why I broke so many. They don't like to be overtightened. After a year of dealing with...

How far is the short brace piece between the B-pillar bar (the main hoop) and the front profile bars from the occupants' heads? Can anyone with one of these cages confirm that there's plenty of room there?

I'd buy those in a heartbeat if they were commercially available. Beautiful.
