My HJ61 12HT has some questionable wiring done to it in the past, but has been very reliable until recently. I don't have a multimeter yet, so I haven't taken readings of anything, just getting advice. In the past 2 months on road trips the voltmeter on the dash will sit steady at 24V (middle)...

Since everything else on the truck was beat and old and not taken care of from the guy I bought it from, I assumed the axle was in need of innards (it was, the old grease was almost dry and one seal on the right side was entirely missing) They went to replace the seals and bearings on both sides...

I had rear hub work done for sheared hub bolts and while I had the truck at the shop, the mechanic noticed the front left hub was leaking. The warrant of fitness (the mandatory “safety” inspection needed every 6 months to legally drive the car on the road; really, it’s a punishment for keeping...

I know, Im just trying to nickel and dime since I have to pay for the service now. Speaking of a hub rebuild, how does everyone feel about Terrain Tamers rebuild kits? They seem to be the only thing readily available to me right now.

Ok crazy question. I get this may be a home garage fix for many, but I have to take the truck to a shop. All my tools are packed away and they’re too expensive here to go buy a second set that’s adequate to do this project (the brake drum is rusted through too, but I have no pliers or brake...

Yes. I had not seen this problem before and wanted to make sure everything was reusable before I bolted it all back together. That’s when the cable locker issue came up. But I am reusing the axle and hopefully the hub if I can extract the studs with no problems.

The splines on my axle seem to be much longer than the ones posted earlier. Here on mine they measure to 105 mm. Thanks for the input all. I’ll post here as I continue working.

(Edit: I have included the part number pages for the rear diff and axle. You can see there is a differentiation between cable locked and non cable locked diff, but none is made for the axle shaft itself. Unless any concrete evidence of something else, I am going to get the axle shaft listed and...

It seems to be false. The shaft part number for full float and semi float axles are the same (42311) as per Toyota parts diagrams.

I read in one of the linked threads that cable locked trucks have a different axle shaft than regular trucks? Happen to know anything about that? I just find the shafts have all versions of trucks from 40, 60, 70, 80s listed as fitting. It seems like a one off comment compared to other info.

Funny enough the dowel is the only piece I recovered on site. Thought I’d see how they broke to solve it but I guess they were explosive and the dowel just rattled down the street a bit. Thanks for the advice on going Toyota factory.

Awesome. I’ll try that search term. Thanks.

This was supposed to be a successful first off-road trip thread. Clearly it is not. Pics included. My inner axle popped out. Felt a slight “thwunk” and then lost power to the wheels Felt like the clutch slipped out of gear. No. I jumped out and the rear axle was sticking a full foot out of...

I don't think there is a specific 24v receiver. Im getting the same thing done on my HJ61 and the shop is using a 24-12v reducer to be compatible. same with an aftermarket radio and GPS tracker. It seems easier to use a dedicated reducer for each rather than 24v dedicated parts, which are either...

This roof rack wouldn't by any chance fit the high roof to fit my HJ61? I think I know the answer but that rack looks too quality not to ask anyway.
