You can find it on RockAuto for $375.

I'm about to jump into this mod. New 80 series steering gear boxes are $400. Not sure why everyone hasn't done this. Anybody that has gone this route, what other items am I not thinking about that I will need? Can I reuse the pitman arm from my 60 box? Do i need a new steering coupler/yoke...

Well, in typical Fitzwho luck, every time I find a deal like this something happens to mess it up. Had an emergency with my 18 month old American Water Spaniel and blew more money than I care to recall keeping him alive. I’ll have to pass on this one.

What are you wanting for the rear bumper and gas tank? I'm in west Texas but have some friends in the Lafayette area that work out here on rotation, so they could possibly bring it up here for me next hitch.

Where can I get those trim pieces for the back of the bench seat? All I got done this past weekend was making a DIY dash cubby delete with Bullet Point Mounting solutions phone holder. The USB port in the cubby delete is hooked up to my auxiliary battery so I can charge stuff while the truck is...

Trail Tailor - glass lock strip.

When you come through Midland, I would love to see this truck. I'll be in Sedona, AZ most of next week, but I will be back in town Saturday the 28th, so I should be here when you pass through. Take a quick drive through Saguaro NP when you go through Tuscon. The Saguaros and Palo Verde Trees...

@BMValentine - Pics or it didn't happen... @jimi5Stone - here's my door card installation.

Never seen those before. Looks like you could install a set if you were using Aussie Door Cards without too much issue. I'm looking at those pretty hard now. Trying to decide why I don't need them.

I’m using the Ironman 4x4 DC/DC charger. Easy to wire up. Seems to work really well. I tried one of those cheaper isolators originally and as soon as I hooked everything up, my power steering fluid started boiling… Still don’t understand that.

Drove my Cruiser 1400 miles roundtrip for a Colorado mule deer hunt. Had a few electrical issues, like having to replace a starter solenoid and having a battery hold down come loose and ground out against the positive and nearly start a fire, everything went pretty good. Even ran into a cruiser...

Installed City Racer window welts and Wagon Gear window locks. Haven’t tackled the windshield yet. The cargo windows weren’t all that bad. The hatch was hell. Wore a blister almost the entire length of my index finger. Also did a quick hand buff of the hatch and tailgate. still need to figure...

Interior is pretty much done. Probably should have just bit the bullet and bought the Moab TrailCat seats that I wanted. But these are very comfortable. Had to fab up an entirely new base mount for the driver seat to drop it about 1-1.5” to leave me with some head room. Got the new front seat...

Been watching and relating to a lot of the Project Wrong Way videos. Funny seeing somebody have the same struggles. Mainly the dropping stuff over and over or not being able to get something to fit. Made my wife watch one and basically she was like, “this dude is you working on your FJ60.”

To add... I found the back relatively easy to install for the most part. My seat has a solid back, so to simplify the install I cut 4 access holes in the rear of the seat so that I could reach the mid-seat section with the hog ring pliers, there was no good way that I could determine to do it...
