I am looking to install a line lock in my '78 FJ40. I have a shop to do the work if I bring them the parts. What parts do I need and where can I get them? Summit Racing perhaps?

Really they can't source the parts? What are your plans for using the line lock?

They not a Toyota experienced shop. Will use for general offroad use.
Best one out there in my opinion:
genright.com
If the shop can’t figure out what parts they need… they may not be the ones to undertake it.
Ball Valve Parking Brake
Secure your Jeep with the GenRight Offroad Ball Valve Parking Brake. A reliable hydraulic parking brake designed for off-road and rock crawling use.

I used one of these on my buggy…
Simple to install with couple flares. Also won’t drain battery like the electric button ones.
*note this will lock brakes up enough if you drive with it shut, you will make brake pads heat up….. did it once on trail…. Believer!

A LONG time ago one of the locals, who happens to be a plumber, showed me a rather unique line lock setup in his 40. He had four of them, side by side, between the driver and passenger seat, plumbed to the four corners of the truck.
He said that in a limited traction situation he could manually lock whichever tire was spinning, forcing the differential to apply more pressure to the tires that had traction without the steering issues of locking differentials. This fascinated me conceptually, but I never got to see it in use.
