Did you order a dash bezel at the same time? If that was you, I really appreciate your ongoing support. I'm thankful for all my customers as customers put food on the table for my kids. Frequent flyers help us grow quicker and offer more products.
Thank you for the compliment. I toured a number of casting plants and while this particular partner was the most expensive, I had the highest level of confidence with the finished part quality.
If anyone knows of other casted parts that need reproduction, please let me know.
Hi All-
I wanted to share a product we are launching in late April or mid-May.
It's the 2-Port Lower Thermostat housing for the 60 series that require smog compliance. We will have the item listed at $89.99.
The factory casting this part for us also casts Whipple Supercharger housings, Warn...
I had good luck with xrunnerdude, after the initial contact. I agree on the front end he was slow to reply. On the backend I received my order sooner than he promised.
I would say his directions for install weren't super great. Perhaps it was my ADHD, my engineering brain, or whatever, but I...
Hi All-
The plan is to launch 10 products this year form TRF. We have launched one and four more will come out in April/May.

1) Yes you can remove the old knob and spring before removing the grip. I've installed this part on a FJ62, HJ45, and BJ70.
2) New Handle Grip is a PITA to install. The spec was 100 ft-lbs of pull force to remove it, so it doesn't go on easy.
**** DISCLAIMAR: Warning this install method...
Utility knife, Die Grinder.... These are two methods I employed during R&D
Other option I used was to take the entire assemble out.
Remove the Knob and Spring
Pinch the very end of the plastic handle in a vise.
Man handle the assemble back and forth and pull really hard

Kit is available in Black, Dark Grey, or Dark Brown
Comes with a Molded Handle, Spring, and Knob
Great thread, thanks to all who contributed. I have a 1HZ-T outfitted with a ACSD and oil cooler plate from a 1HD-T. I'm guessing with the Thermo Wax and diaphragm cover this is an injector pump off a 1HDT I'm a huge fan of having less parts, so I will be removing this part. Wiring and brake...
Hi Guys-
We are about to cut tooling on our first Minitruck project, the Washer Bottle and Coolant Reservoir assemble. Wanted to gauge interest from this group as a gut check.
We executed a bottle for the FJ60 group that was well received, so we have experience with these types of projects...
Couple of projects we are wrapping up....
Project #1
Parking Brake handle refresh kit. Comes with a new handle, button, and spring.
The handle is a tight interference fit. It has a minimum removal force of 100 lbs. When installing one will need to set the handle in hot water for two...
We finished production on switches that would fit nicely in this center console. I'll pull this post down, if Spencer already has plans for these... I respect the work.
As Matt mentioned, The Rust Farmers, www.therustfarmers.com sells the washer bottle for the fj60.
We do sell an install kit that comes with a decal, grommet and zinc yellow hardware.
Matt has a really neat set-up if your pump needs to be upgraded or additional hardware is required.
We've sold...
The original has the line down the middle aka the mold cavity parting line. The version we are slotted to produce does not have the line....
They may seem crazy that I'm asking the forum this, however these types of details are important to "some" people.
I don't want a pallet(s) sitting in...
