Yes sir.Thanks for the nudge.
@J Mack - you around Boise next Wednesday (9/13)? I'll be in town for a day or two. If the offer stands, I'll swing out and borrow those samples you mentioned.

Call Classic Cruisers and see if they have one. Or eBay. Both of those might cost more than the Shapeways. Roll the bones.I have been without a rear tailgate handle on my 71' fj55 for months and curious if anyone knows an option besides the one on Shapeways for $600? Thanks
I appreciate it but unfortunately that's not it. The fj40 is a different size. I have looked all over ebay and called soooo many shops. Nothing. And I was told the Shapeways isn't even finished up very nice. I tried getting in touch with Justin on Shapeways but so far nothing.This handle is on ebay right now. It's not the handle assembly but just the handle.

When I run the part number for my '77 pig I get the following:
69250 HANDLE ASSY, TAIL GATE LOCK 69230-90351
When I run the number in the ebay ad I get nothing. That doesn't mean it isn't a legit handle and for that price I think I would take a chance. The only number that's in my database is for the handle assembly and not for the handle itself.
Hope that helps.
Yeah, Agreed! Someone else opened my tailgate and broke it...My theory, FWIW, is that these break because people use them to open the tailgate. I have tried to be careful with mine to always lift the handle with one hand and then pull the tailgate open with my other hand. That way there is no undue force applied to the handle.
Thanks, tried both, no luck!Call Classic Cruisers and see if they have one. Or eBay. Both of those might cost more than the Shapeways. Roll the bones.
Total bonehead mistake on my part. They have FJ55 tagged in the ad and I didn't bother to inspect further.I appreciate it but unfortunately that's not it. The fj40 is a different size. I have looked all over ebay and called soooo many shops. Nothing. And I was told the Shapeways isn't even finished up very nice. I tried getting in touch with Justin on Shapeways but so far nothing.

I had not seen this yet, it may work... Thanks, I'll give it a try!!For those of you limping along, here is my repair - won't last forever, but might get you through until you can find a reasonably priced one (post #15):
