I saw Slee's DIY kit lastnight and it is beefy and I'm going to order it.
Man for that price get some .250 DOM, some Currie JJ or any other of the same style and weld in bungs. Would probably be cheaper too.

I just looked all these parts up on Mcmaster Carr and wanted to share the part numbers for future research.
McMaster-Carr
These are the thin grade 8 nuts 3/4-16... $11.78 for 10 93839A840
These are the 6" fully threaded grade 8 bolts $10.34 each 92620A881
These are the tube adaptors 1.875" 3/4-16 $6.12 each 94640A365
This comes to $34.29 ordering all through MC

Kletzen thanks for the help with the parts. I just ordered them ... FYI the number for the pack of 10 nuts is missing a 9 in the front. It should be 93839A840...
Is this Grade 8 bolt strong enough for the front? I've found a DOM tube diameter that will sleeve on the front panhard (30mm or 1.18") and weld-on bungs. Couldn't find any grade 9 bolt that is fully threaded.
Thanks, just ordered up that parts. I think this is the first time I have ever had a Land Cruiser related order under $100 bucks! I'm all in.
Thanks for this, I was looking at just cutting and sleeving to the extended length but I like this better.
Could the bolt be welded to one of the tube inserts on the end that is inserted into the tube, thus only requiring one jamb nut? Or would that have a negative effect on the hardening of the bolt?

The latter, I would not heat up a bolt to a welding temp and want to rely on it.
Did this technique for the front and the rear and the lower and upper control arms. Works beautiful! Thanks for the heads up!
@RhinoFZJ80 were you able to find a solid tube adapter for the front panhard? Or did you use slee's front setup?
The problem I have had with adjustable pan hards and control arms is they should use Acme threads and I have not found a manufacture that does. Without I found the jam nuts constantly come loose.
X2. I'd like to do both at the same.
Has anyone else done this to the front? What size tube adapters were needed?
ended up using the slee's diy front adjuster. couldn't find the right pieces to make it work.
I know this is old post but I was wondering if you saving your parts list for the other things you fixed other than the rear panhard.
Bringing this back from the dead. I haven't installed everything yet but if you buy a turnbuckle like this with male threads on one side/female threads on the other you don't have to take the whole thing apart to adjust everything. Just make sure you get RH + LH tube adapters like these to go with it. With this set up you can adjust by backing off the jam nuts and cranking the turnbuckle.
