Just ducked under my 07 to get the stamped model number of the OME shocks. No Go! So much rock rash on all four they are unreadable. Does anybody know the model numbers for front and back for the 3" OME lift? Thanks Ken

Trollhole apparently doesnt answer their phone or Facebook posts. Where can I get a quality rebuilt world market FJ60 OEM carb? I'd also like some quality customer service for associated questions. Thanks

I'm looking for a world market air canister, including duct and carb cap. Please text me at 209 918-5066 or email ken@pirateslair.com I have UPS account if that makes it easier. Thanks Ken

Do you know of a OEM Snorkel kit for the rig? I always thought they were aftermarket.

I'm researching the ultimate carb/air filter kit for a '83 FJ60 stationed in Tchad, Africa. There it is used as an Ambulance, Hospital supply truck, and general physician transporter into the community. It currently has an aftermarket carb and "performance" air cleaner. No bueno. This is NOT...

Here's my post from earlier this year: After a long search, and I mean long, for a legitimate Toyota color code for stock rims (steelies) I can attest there is no existing factory evidence for it. However, in the immortal words of Sean Connery, "never say never". However, in the vacuum of...

If you're going to the trouble, use the nuke method. take apart all items and bead or soda blast all at the same time. you'll save money and time in the long run. If you use hydro blasting they can add a sulfuric acid mix to prolong the bare metal from rusting. I have fenders in my garage still...

Can anybody tell me how to find out if my '72 came with long jump seats or short? With a roll bar or not? Seems it is a weird year when a lot of changes were afoot. thanks

Does anybody know if there are any aftermarket exhaust systems that allow the PTO shaft to remain in the rig? For the cost of a bombed out original manifold I could be looking at a Spectre or equivalent, but none that I've found leave room for the shaft. Ideas? Ken

I If im not mistake though, your color code is a powder coating. The quest was for a modern paint code that matched the elusive T1447 found in the Toyota documention. My mistake if that color code comes in air dry paint!

There are bound to be shade variations but the quest was to find a modern pro paint code that fit the bill.

I also found this to be true. However, this was not the quest. The quest was to have a modern paint code by which you could go to your local professional auto paint store and order a national brand enamel, LPU or epoxy and get the correct color. Most parts companies have what they call Toyota...

I appreciate the T1447 number and I found it quickly in factory reference material too. No pro paint distributor could connect Toyota T1447 Grey into a current/modern translation of any professional paint chip. This was also my experience when I called CCOT, Man-a-Fre, about five more restorers...
