I'm trying like the dickens to find replacement bolts, castle nuts and cotter pins, but I'm having little luck.
Are these parts NLA? Does someone have a super secret stash they'd be willing to part with? What are my options in the event that I can't find a replacement?
Are these worth reusing?
I'm getting ready to mate the transfer case to transmission, and I have 3 spacers. I cannot for the life of me, figure out what order they go in.
Is this the right order?

I'm a buffoon. I admit it. I wholeheartedly welcome the name calling, because I deserve it.
Now that we have that out of the way, I have a washer that came out of (I think; pictures to follow) my transfer case. The reason I say "I think" is because I started the rebuild a few years ago, and due...
The wife, kids and I are en-route to the Texas coast, and her hundy chewed up and spit out the transmission last night on I-45. We're currently in Willis, TX, and are considering taking the truck to Gullo Toyota in Conroe.
anyone have any better places to take the truck?

So I have been rebuilding my transfer case (much thanks to Coolerman and Poser posts/advice), and I saw where the idler shaft is pretty beat up. The PO's solution was to use a bungee cord and pull the transfer case selector lever against the transmission shifter. He knew it was bearing noise...
So, I picked up a carb rebuild kit for my '77 last week (thanks CruiserOutfitters!), and I thought I'd go through rebuilding my carb tonight. I took out the handy FSM, and started tearing down the air horn per the FSM instructions, and got to the part on page 6-9 (fig. 6-16) where it's telling...
I've been casually shopping for an '80 series now for about 6 months or so. I have an FJ40, but it's decidedly family unfriendly.
I found a '96 LX450 fairly close to my house, but the problem is, I don't know how good of a deal it is. From what I can tell, it's in good shape mechanically. Sure...
Here of late, my minitruck p/s gear box has been leaving an oil slick that makes the Exxon Valdez look tiny, by comparison (odd since the truck has not been started in a few months).
I've been keenly watching the few minitruck p/s conversions & troubleshooting threads that have showed up...
About 2 months ago, I started a knuckle job. I completed the driver's side, and was going to do a locker at the same time. I went ahead and pulled the inner axle shafts, and pulled the front third so I could install the locker.
I went to drain the diff, and found that I could not get a socket...
I have a replacement hard top CAP that I'm needing to sell. It's a molded fiberglass replacement top, with integrated fiberglass rain gutter.

I'm going to preface this with I don't know much about electronics, and I've spent quite a bit of time reading up on ignitions, and I'm still stumped with this...
Okay, last Friday, I decided I would take my '77 FJ to work. I got up extra early, because I needed to get some fuel, and was out...
First and foremost, thanks for your patience.
I've had my eye on this beauty since November of '07. My sister-in-law and her husband moved to a new house last year, and I happened to spot this truck on one of the many, many trips to their new hacienda...
So, after watching this gem for a few...
I just bought my first FJ40 about 2 months ago, and it's developing a nasty habit of not wanting to start.
The more I drive it (in one day) the more likely I am that I will have to push-start my truck.
I can drive it for 2 hours, and by the time I get to my destination, I can turn off the...
