I was thinking about doing that but sometimes welds break too.You could also cut and sleeve it for a perfect fit and make it much stronger.

This was posted elsewhere in IH8MUD but was advised to post this here.
I am doing a disk brake conversion on my 1968 FJ40 using parts I pulled from a 1987 FJ60.
Currently planning to use the FJ60 tie rod since it is larger but I will need to shorten it.
I am looking for a shop that can do the work or find a used or an off the shelf tie rod tube already shortened.
The threads seem to be 23mm OD with a 1.5mm thread pitch right & left hand.
Does anyone know of a shop in my area (Tucson) that can do the work or know where I could buy an already modified one?
And if anyone has done this mod already, what was your tie rod tube length after modification?

Will the canvas door panels fit a 1982? If so, would be interest in the doors and top.
Hello Brice, someone sent me a PM on the soft doors. If they happen change their mind, you’re next in line. Thank you for the interest.Will the canvas door panels fit a 1982? If so, would be interest in the doors and top.
Just remembered that the DS exterior soft door handle was lost driving down the road one night. Wasn’t able to recover. The interior portion of the handle is still intact.
