I I'll be honest... I don't remember what they were. You may want to pop one of them out and take it with you to the hardware store to be certain you get the right one. This is what I ended up doing.

Yes, I picked up replacement patch panels from Wolf.

So I decided to go ahead and start working on repairing the rust on the rear quarter panels… I discovered a ton of body filler, but also this thick black material separating the inner panel from the outer. First thought was it was some rust preventative product put on by the PO… now I’m...

Yeah, agreed that $18K does sound a little higher than I was hoping for. However, I do realize that prices have increased on everything, so expect body work would fall right in line. I appreciate the feedback.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a shop that can replace the quarter/rocker panels on my FJ60 and do a full respray... Unfortunately every shop that I have inquired with has denied due to either the amount of work involved or just not wanting to do any self-pay work with the high volume of...

No, I just reused the original bolts as they were all in good shape. I did clean them up good though. Like others have suggested, pick up some longer bolts of the same size to use to hold up the pan and gasket during install. That made the job easier for sure.

So I made a dumb ass mistake today when rebuilding the PS box today. I used the OEM kit and after I finished the final step to install reinstalling the bolts on the worm and piston, I noticed what looked like plastic laying in the housing. Low and behold when I was reinstalling, the teflon...

I ordered from one of my local dealers through https://autoparts.toyota.com/products/category/parts You'll need the following parts... and I also used some Toyota FIPG 00295-00103 where recommended in the FSM. Good luck! Oil Pan Sub-Assembly Part Number: 12101-61013 Oil Pan Gasket...

Just got my OEM seal kit in today... Looking forward to tackling the job over the weekend. This thread has been a great reference in preparation to knock this out.

Thanks everyone for the tips. I ended up replacing the oil pan with the new OEM pan and gasket due to a hole in top of the pan. I figured I'd just replace it instead of trying to repair it and risk it continuing to leak. I didn't think the process of replacing the pan was too painful using...

Thanks for the reply and the tips… I will likely go ahead and plan to change the oil pan, clutch, and all of the associated seals. I’ve been considering the clutch anyway so it may just be a good time to bite the bullet and take care of everything.

So I noticed a pretty good leak over the past several days… I pulled the clutch inspection cover earlier today just to see if I could pinpoint the source… I cleaned up all of the fresh oil I could see and let it sit… after about 2 hours I came back to a 2 inch puddle and what looks to be a leak...

Got it! It showed back up this morning... Not sure what was preventing me from seeing it before, but if someone fixed it I do appreciate the help!

Thanks for the advice! However, I must be losing it because I cannot seem to find the "resources" button anymore! I swear I saw it when I first joined, but no longer see it. Anyone know what my issue might be?

I’ll definitely check out the group! And I could definitely always use the local help and expertise!
