From the dealer. Culver City Toyota ran a Black Friday sale and it's been sitting in my garage for the last 4 months. (BTW - not my favorite parts counter, their staff leaves a lot to be desired, but they do have good pricing at times.) However I think the only one that's available is the gray one for the FJ62, not sure about the brown or either color for the 60.where did you get the new dash pad? looks great
Thanks for the call, glad that helped!Tech for dummies this am - my sun visors were very difficult to swivel down away from the roof, and was in the process of almost bending the visor coming in to work yesterday trying to keep the sun out of my eyes. Thinking these were frozen in place, I started researching replacements, and noted that using the 70 series replacement visors requires you to reuse the arms from the original ones (assuming the brittle plastic isn't busted) by removing the set screw and pulling out the arm. However, the set screw also controls the resistance on the arm as you swivel it up and down. Literally 10 seconds of adjusting later and mine were in great shape, no issues twisting them up and down, saved me $100.
In case needed down the road, p/n's for the 70 series replacements, you need to reuse the arm from your existing visors:

Have also been chasing down this vibration that keeps cropping up around 55 mph. Was just about to order the transfer rebuild kit from Georg @orangefj45 yesterday, but was able to chat with him before placing the order. His thought is that it may be the torque converter and glazing on the lockout clutch. I bought some Shudder Fixx on his recommendation, running this for about 100 mi before ordering a kit. It cleaned up some of the vibration and the truck is definitely quieter and shifts better, but the low level hum is still there and sticks around regardless of road surface (thinking it was maybe tires, still might be) and whether the truck is in neutral or 3rd at about 55. Still have another 50 miles or so, we'll see how it goes. Big thanks to Georg for the advice and suggestions!

Slide hammer and axle bearing pullers rented from the 'Zone. My main difficulty was that the medium size puller was too small, large was too big. Just needed to kind of set the medium size off-center and give it an equal number of whacks on the left and right sides of the race. Wrecked the cage on the first one, second one came out intact.How did you remove those rear Bearings/Races ? Not easy.
Thanks for suggestions. Rear driveshaft is a new Tom Wood, front is original. Have not pulled the front d/s to make sure it's not rotating / creating issues at speed, this may be something I try over the weekend. One of the wheels was bent, but I replaced that one a while back and provided the tire shop with an extra wheel when balancing the new tires, just in case another was bent.Drive shafts are in phase?
Bent rim?
It’s the same.Driveshaft Phase
Look in the FSM. Not sure if the FJ62 is the same orientation.

I haven't. This may be first order of business tomorrow am. Also ordered new front wheel bearings, just for fun.It’s the same.
Mine was wrong when I got it which confused the matter a bit.
Made mine “correct” and things cleared up.
@majdomo have you removed the rear driveshaft and driven in “front wheel” drive to eliminate the rear driveshaft as a culprit?
