Fj80 tailgate hinge bolt

[876 Cruisers]

Hey all,

Has anyone ever had to change the bolt for the tailgate stay. One of mine is bent but toyota says I have to order the entire arm to get it.

Any solutions to it?

Thanks
Dan

Take it off, straighten it, and put it back on.

Otherwise, are there salvage places in Jamaica?

Salvage yards are here but Landcruiser are hard to find here.

I may just have to check with the parting out section to see if they willing to sell the bolt alone

Are you referring to the one with the Phillips cross in the head of it?

Correct.

Correct.

Check with @arcteryx and or @slow95z to see if either may have one or are willing to ship.

I think they may be correct because it may be a captured bolt and pressed into the arm.

See the attached screen shot and link.

@876 Cruisers

You are correct. You can only get the bolt by buying the whole assembly. There are also 2 or more little washer bushing things that you will get with the assembly.

That's why this is hard to replace with a regular bolt because you need the washer/bushing things.

I lost the bolt on my rig. I came up with a simple solution that I like more than the oem set up.

In the above post I used cable that was coated in plastic. After a year the plastic separated and let the clamps come loose. Than I re made it with cable not coated in plastic and it has held up great.
