I realize most of you have probably already read through this but I just wanted to link it for future use.

Any progress?

Does anyone know, Cruiser Guy , if this type of process will work on the FJ45LV hinges?

Theoretically it should work on all hinges of the Land Cruiser type, at least the concept will. Sizes might be slightly different, I haven't looked at an FJ45LV hinge though.

Can somebody post a pic of the REAR of how the lower hinge assembly fits together? Thanks The one on the left, BTW ;p

About 5 or 6 years ago I replaced my door pins and bushings with 5/16" bolts with locknuts, and made bushings out of electrical heat-shrink tubing. Everything is still tight. I do like the idea of brass or bronze bushings though.

I pulled all of my hinges apart, sandblasted, and painted them. I am now in the process of finalizing a design for greasable pins for them, a total of 8 main pins, 4 intermediate and 4 small pins for the spring-equipped hinges, so that makes 16 total. I have access to a full machine shop in between my manufacturing classes, so I'm set I'll post updates on the design plans and pictures when they are finished.
