I'm in the same boat as Ed, except I need the 16-spline version.
The Man-a-fre "garage sale" adaptors are plate adaptors that bolt to the back of the existing nv4500 tailshaft. In late 2001 AA changed it's approach. They now use a Dodge tailshaft, which is a couple inches shorter, and tell the user to cut the output shaft down.
The net gain in going from an add-on plate to a replacement tailhousing is 3 1/4".
With an FJ40 I hesitate to add any length if I don't have to. The price is right,though. $390 for the plate versus $650 for the new version.

ps - Shameless hijack - I need an adaptor too!
