@ranma21 has them for cheaper but thank you for giving everybody the heads up.

I didn't click links to be a price shopper, but I seem to recall cruiserparts.net had hand throttles & passenger grab bars (grey only, sorry fellas!) too.
At least I was surprised they did when I'd called for a few used parts.

I always have been leery about OEM parts on eBay without part bags that have the part numbers on them.

There are **a lot** of non-OEM, knock-offs being sold on eBay as OEM.



That said, the price point is good on some non-US parts.

Sorry about that.

No worries, just pointing it out in case anyone's in the market for a hand throttle.

Second pic looks like it's in OEM bags.

Good call. Didn't see that.

Well I gave it a shot, they shipped the thing in a plastic bag all the way from China so obviously the plastic part that meets the crimped metal sleeve on the cable was broken. A little JB weld and duct tape and it's good, but I'll always know how jankey that thing is behind the dash.

 

[toyotaFJ]

Was it OEM or China crap knock off?

 

[stu8319]

It's quality and in OEM bags so I assume it's legit.

The factory hand throttles are pretty crap anyway, so It's not going to make a huge difference.

Tell me why you would want a hand throttle kit? Im guessing your legs are not paralyzed and I cant think of a reason why I would need one.

To keep RPMs up to keep the alternator charging the battery under heavy load, e.g. winching.

 

[Jim S.]

Airing up and winching. Use mine regularly 1800 - 2000 RPM.

akella sells the OEM here on MUD for a good price (out of Canada)

OK, I thought it was just something that mounted to the steering wheel. I guess it is a longer cable that will allow you to rev while not in teh driver seat?

I just picked up my 91 fj80 a few months ago and it already has one, does this mean it's not original? My 88 fj62 had one also so I assumed it was factory. This rig also has trd badges on both sides on the front. I am also wondering if these are original or maybe the truck originated in canada?

A little education is needed here.....the 80s have a spot for a hand throttle under the dash, right side of steering column. Look for a round blank knockout piece. The gas pedal has a spot for hooking up the hand throttle as well. I use it when running the York OBA and also for winching.
