Hello beno,

My hj61 had an unfortunate incident with a tree this weekend and I'm looking for a rear hatch window, with the heating elements. If I can't find one I can probably just get a piece of glass cut and put in, but would like to have the defroster.

Thanks!
 
Onur, thanks for the care package :-)
 
Folks:

Going forward, I will be offering first and foremost Terrain Tamer kits for the following applications:

1. All knuckle/front axle/front bearing rebuild kits.... This will be for all iteration Land Cruisers with solid front axles.

2. All semi-floater applications for the rear axle.

3. All manual transmission rebuild/reseal kits (3 speed, H41/42F and H55F transmissions).

4. All transfer case rebuild/reseal kits (early solid case, split cases--early and late--and HF1/2A applications).

The quality of these kits is now, in my honest opinion, as good if not better than the OEM Toyota parts which are not in kit form and are **significantly** more expensive than the equal quality Terrain Tamer iterations.

The premium to be paid for what I consider normal wear and tear consumables is not necessary by going through Toyota and paying an exorbitant amount of money for these parts.

I am going to fully recommend TT kits going forward as the best option when available.

That's a big step for someone like me, as all of you know my devotion and belief in OEM Japanese Toyota parts.

That said, I will still be offering OEM Toyota parts for the above applications if people so desire (say, folks doing restorations).

But I think that once people try out the TT kits and parts they too will be sold on the quality of the parts being offered by TT, operating as Can-Am Cruisers here in North America: @orangefj45 and @wardharris

And to put my money where my mouth is, I will be rebuilding my front axles this weekend on my BJ70 using the Terrain Tamer kits that I acquired. :)

You have turned a corner my friend ... But I agree that the kits are extremely complete and OE or better quality ...
 
A quick update on my schedule:

I will be in the office today and off Saturday and Sunday.

I am shipping Monday and taking orders Monday as well.

Tuesday Sept 15th I'll be headed to North Carolina to attend Logan's Run for the remainder of the week with the ONSC club of North Carolina--- My second year back as a sponsor for that great run with a great group of folks and in honor of Logan Monk.

I will have computer access Tuesday and Weds of next week and can take orders. I will not be able to ship parts until I return to the office on Monday the 21st of Sept. After I return from Logan's Run.

Thanks for your understanding and see you on the trails!
-o-
 
See you on Saturday Onur. I'll try to bring some :beer: along with all the BBQ sauce I am cooking for the pig ...

After using a couple of these knuckle rebuild kits in the shop, I agree. They are top notch.
 
If only you were a Cummins dealer as well you could be a one stop shop.

Do all of the TT kits utilize Koyo bearings?

That's what I look for first in an aftermarket kit, followed by price. I equate Koyo with OEM for axle/knuckle/t-case bearings... because they pretty much are, the only difference being that it didn't come out of a Toyota box. The paper gaskets I'm usually not too worried about.

I bring this up only to say that I don't think this conflicts with your devotion or beliefs. Your conscience should be clear...not that you needed my stamp of approval or anything!

Yup. All of them are Koyo bearings. The transmission and transfer case kits also utilize the same bearings when you rebuild one of these units: Koyo, SKF, and Nachi bearings--all Toyota OEM suppliers (Koyo is a part of the JTEKT multi-national along with Toyoda Industries)d:

JTEKT CORPORATION|Top

For example, just to give you a good idea of the comprehensiveness of the kits: The split transfer case kits come with an idler shaft because as we know over the years the idler shaft gets damaged through normal wear and tear. TT (as Don Kyatt) has been providing spare parts for Land Cruisers since they were first introduced into the Australian market in 1957 for the Snowy Mountains hydroelectric operations.

This shows to me that they learned what failed in these types of situations and made a better quality option available. That speaks volumes in terms of my understanding of what they know about these vehicles and what the common areas of issues are when Joe-shade tree mechanic gets in there to rebuild a split case on a Saturday afternoon. They want you to have the right parts every time. That's cool and jives with my own philosophical foundations for parts expertise.

Hope this helps Cameron.

Now here's and idea for diversification.

Let me work on that Cimarron. I know both you and Morgan would be quite happy. ;)
You wouldn't even need to remember part numbers for me. My local Cummins dealer can't look up anything for me because I don't have the number off the data plate on the engine so I have to supply all my part numbers. I think they are just lazy or Cummins has a horrible computer system.
