Great job all around. Love the location. When I was heavily involved in running events for RLC, I always wanted to do a 4WD show and swap meet. This event scratched that itch for me.
I think a swap meet, if possible, would be a good addition. Also with so many 2M/GMRS radios on site, having a...
Over the weekend we learned about the passing of Dave Lay @slacker24-7
I had many dealings with Dave over the years. In the early days of ARTTORA, he'd come out and show us what a built mini truck could do on all the hard trails at Superlift, and later to various RLC events in the FJ60. He and...

Good luck with the sale. Looks to be in fantastic shape where it counts.
Here's more info from my build thread: FJ60 5.7l TBI to 5.3l LS Swap - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fj60-5-7l-tbi-to-5-3l-ls-swap.1000636/post-11194609
My LS swapped FJ60 never hits 200F in the 95F summer, in traffic, with the AC blasting. I do have an aluminum Champion radiator and an...
I'm curious about your heat issues. Do you have an H-pipe or tee within your heater circuit off the water pump? So that the in and out of the water pump are looped together even when your heater core is shut off?
I tore up some parts in my split case so I'm hoping to find someone that did a 3:1 or 4:1 upgrade and shelved their stock parts.
I need:
Idler gear. 38mm 4 speed trans version (aka the 86-87 FJ60).
Bearing race holder/retainer/donut that goes in the front half of the case. Near where the 2/4...
Might try Jim's in Hensley. I used them for a 20R head job, but it was around 12 years ago.

@Tireguy87 needs to chime in as he sold his a while ago and the new owner has recently sold it again. I believe both sales were in the $10k to $12k range.
I think a good junkyard with Toyotas in it is more rare than the diff you are looking for, which I agree will be tough to find.
I'd either find a 4.10 version, and regear it, or just buy a new one from ECGS with the 4.88s in it: Toyota 7.5''- Pickup, 4runner -...
