Temporary tailgate on my 74 FJ43. I recently removed the top and welded a metaltech cage together, complete with frame tie in pieces. Metaltech was amazing to deal with. Solid experience.

Thanks!
Peeling back layers on my knuckle rebuild. The original spindle bushing is missing a large chunk. I cannot seem to find one for a 1974. Any ideas who sells these? It is part 36 in the diagram.
