Brandon owes me $60. I sent him a check back in Ocober for a steering shaft off a FJ60 he was supposedly parting out. Of course he never sent it AFTER HE CASHED MY CHECK. He said he would send soon, then never heard from him again. Then finally he contacted me after many emails and pm's...

Cutting this shock tower made me cringe, but no other way to get Scout gear box to fit. These towers are stout and other than looking like crap I think it would still be strong enough. I had to cut out large area on upper end and smaller area for the right lower mounting tab hole. I can't...
Poser.....you mentioned the large washer....I'm not certain I got exactly the one that came off the ebrake ...if you look closely at the pic, you can see there is room for a larger diameter washer to fit behind the castle nut. May have put a washer that came off the out put of the front...
