I have a 1971 fj40 that had the old 4:11 axles.
I replaced them with later model 1980 3:70 axles.
The tie rod connecting the wheels was fine and then the body swap I used bent it really nice for me.
I have the old tie rod from the ~71 front axle. I believe is was 39 1/2 inches long.
The later ~80 tie rod is around 42 if I am not mistaken.
I am not shopping around and wondering what the correct length is for a later model ~80 tie rod length is.
Does this story sound right to you guys?
Thanks,
Jack
