If I recall correctly, I was able to find a used one from cruiserparts.net.

I thought those guys had been universally banned from mention on this site

There are two lengths of this rod. Bought a 1005 MM one back in the nineties when there were still available. Early one is 850 MM. Scored a second one out of a wrecked 84 HJ47RV. Both of these were for lower the spare tire underneath the back. The guide on the bumper wasn't available turn the 2H engine over for obvious reasons. I have a water key used two turn water off at the meter. Never checked the size but think the diameter is close to the OEM rod. Good vise and a torch could been one up. Drill a hole and drive a pipe and your set. Believe some other Japanese auto maker used one that was close in their SUVs that might locate in a wrecking yard. Search on mud might bring up the thread.

They are no longer available through the dealership. Someone else had posted Toyota numbers that I was able to get them to the dealership but they said I am hunting unicorns at this point. Or do you have any available for sale?
I do not, but they can't be that hard to find.
I bet the usual suspects that deal in used LandCruiser parts have dozens of them laying around. And any 40 with an engine swap no longer needs theirs.

I located one but the guy wanted $700 for it. I will make my own for that price. What is the diameter of the main shaft?

In the US market these were gone from the FJ40 pretty early. My FJ25 had the clips to hold the crank handle but by early sixties FJ40 just screws and nuts where the clips would go. Similar to the nuts and bolts where the bracket would go to locate the back FST bow on factory hard tops. Our FJ45LP-B had the clips but those were welded in place. Not sure if the crank handle was suppliedk f . The FJ55s had them to lower the spare. But these are not that plentiful in the US. $700 is ridiculous. Would reproduce one before spending that much.

My 67 was kind of weird. It has clips for the handle. It was a 66 that had been re-vinned to a 67. Not quite sure if the clips are original or not.

No they used the jack handles just 80 series, 100 series and guessing the 200 series. Almost positive the claw on the end of the crankshaft nut was gone by then. Handle's only purpose was to operate the jack and operate the spare tire winch.
The wheel well had clips to hold the jack handle rods which were two sets on the passenger's wheel well. The ones for the rod to crank the engine were on the driver's wheel well. Two on the top and third Lowe behind the driver's seat. Do you have the clips on both wheel wells?
