I'm planning to get my roof rack deleted as it appears to be a source of water leakage. With my luck there will likely be rust on the roof. I'm planning ahead with a fabricator to weld the holes shut and weld in new sheet metal as necessary. This is a 1996 so headliner removal shouldn't be...

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Part Number: 43401-60081 (QTY: 2)
Description: SPINDLE SUB-ASSY, STEERING KNUCKLE
Condition: Used
I probably should do new axles seals and swap birfield sides like one user recommended, but I am not looking to get that deep into the job for now.
I have some fresh moly grease coming in to repack the birfield housings once I get the spindle off. Followed this thread and ordered some Valvoline...
See the above post and let me know. Basically everything short of pulling the birfields and steering swivels. I'll just scoop out the old birfield grease and pump in fresh stuff while it is somewhat exposed. I think I'll just do the spindles now.
I have a PDF copy of the FSM. Planning to get a...
My shopping carts are currently looking like this:
I already have new wheel seals and lock washers as I anticipated this to be a good old brake job and regrease at first.
Looks like corrosion and/or dirt buildup to me. I'd assume that is the seal surface? Just to confirm, that upward bend of the birfield in the spindle is normal? Making sure nothing is bent.
This is a 1996 FZJ80. Does not appear to have had birfields replaced in it's 250k miles. I threaded a bolt into the shaft which exposed the snap ring groove. It was simply pushed inward in that picture. Just how it looked at first glance. I did not remove the spindle to inspect behind. I...
Tell me your opinion on the condition of this spindle and axle shaft.
Background: Bought this truck over a year ago. Noticed minor wheel bearing play upon inspection, but the price was right. The truck normally sits and does my dad's 5 mile commute at most. This weekend he noticed the some...
This isn't a thread I hoped to bring back up. Somehow, this news never made it to the site he was best known on (t4r.org). I never got a chance to meet Nick in person, but the little interaction I had with him on the forum showed his knowledge and generosity. 10 years later and I still did not...
What's the point in traveling so far with the mechanic if he can't inspect it on his equipment? You need to find a shop local to the truck you are looking at and schedule an appointment there.
I have a few gallons of that stuff. I've used it on my 4Runners for about a decade now. I've been cleaning up this frame section by section. Didn't want to get all grimy while changing exhaust parts, so I held off on this area.
Notice you are in NJ. I've seen a pretty nicely built LX450 on the...
Yup, I think I identified the universal Walker mount that it used to be. I think it is tack welded on there, but just not recognizable anymore. I'm surprised at how smooth it is all things considered. That natural inline six smoothness I guess? I have aftermarket cats. Would it make sense to...
Planning to order all OEM parts. Does anything know the purpose of this? I don't see it either.
80 Series 1FZ cat mounting hardware, 95-97 - https://absolute-wits-end.com/80-series-1fz-cat-mounting-hardware-95-97/
I'm in the process of identifying parts to eliminate my exhaust rattle and overall vibrations. The most obvious is the all three exhausts bushings are missing from the muffler and tailpipe. The moron who installed the Borla system decided that it wasn't worth the $40 in bushings to properly...
