Air Cleaner Gasket

[jericho]

I was in the FJ60 installing the the new fuel pump and filter... of course I got distracted and started checking the air filter. Filter was trashed so it got replaced, but the gaskets for the filter are also trashed. Anyone have any replacement suggestions? Is OEM the way to go or is there another route i could/should go?

By the way the reason for the fuel pump replacement, it was leaking where the cap and base were joined. Went to start it and it started right up! Must have been a problem for a while. I've Had the 60 for 7 years and its never started like that before!

Gasket 17841 - its rubber and sits on the top and bottom of the air cleaner.

You will need to check with Dan. My part look-up is doing something weird. Should be about $5.25 from Dan.

I'll be checking with Dan as Toyota wants $40 each for these 2 gaskets. They said the one around the outer lip of the air cleaner lid is discontinued, but I found some weather stripping at Lowes for $10 that worked great. Just cut it down the middle with scissors and it fits perfectly. $85 for powder coat, $10 for gasket and a can of satin aluminum rustoleum and it's close to brand new.

Wow, talk about dredging up the past (2010). Good tech and I'm sure somebody in the group will find this useful.
