Perfect! Thank you.

my intent is to remove the caliper hardline, and run it from the axle tube junction/clip to the caliper. Consensus is that makes future work easier and lets you hang the caliper with the added length/flexibility. Not sure if the OEM part is what I want…

Has anyone lately ordered and used the NAPA 38881 hose to elimate the hardline on the dust shield to knuckle? If so - what needs to be modified to fit the clip on the axle? I am between the NAPA hoses or the SOR backing plate eliminator kit with SS lines. Thanks!

Glad to hear it. plan on rebuilding my knuckles while I’m there, worried about not getting good alignment if I do it on the vehicle.

Thanks - going Time Sert route since I’m bound to have to do it somewhere else. I’m ordering the M12 x 1.25 Time Sert kit tonight, did you get by with the 15mm inserts that come with the kit? Also might as rebuild the knuckles while I’m in there - assume doing the wheel bearings is good to do...

Do you have any 60 series rear cross members available?

Got it - that was my first approach, but will try again to do the 25c fix.

Sorry to revive this, how are you guys accessing the rheostat? Are you pulling the dash or the main fuse panel? I don’t know if I am making it harder than it needs to be.

Did some more digging and disconnecting. Old Motorola car phone.

I just bought my 1984 FJ60, the other week from another forum member. I was cleaning up some wiring - chasing down a brake light issue. I think this is a trailer brake control harness, could someone confirm?
