I just moved from DC, there's a good shop just south of there where they can either help, get parts, or put you in touch with 60-series owners.
Overland 4x4 - Auto Repair and Maintenance Shop for Land Rover, Jeep, and Toyota 4x4 trucks
I can vouch that they do good work. Not super cheap but if it's an emergency and no one on the site can get to you quick enough, they're worth giving a call.

I'm going to guess you went to Koons Toyota and ran into a wall of incompetence...

It's the weekend. More than likely no one is going to assist pro bono until Monday or Tuesday. Sit back and relax, get a hotel room and start calling folks.

You have Ryan Bascom with OTRAMM about 40 minutes west of you: Home

You have Forge Specialties about 1.5 hrs south in Fredericksburg, VA: Forge Specialties LLC | Facebook

You have Iron Pig Off Road in Fredericksburg, VA as well: Iron Pig Off Road

I would probably not trust my LC to anyone except those folks.

Good luck.

Did you get thus figured out? I am going to post this in the CLCC club forum for better visibility for others in the DC area.
I have them sitting on my bench at home, but I won't be back home until tomorrow. What is your schedule?

REAL TIME HELP NEEDED!

To close this out, the OP rented a uhaul and a car trailer to get his rig home.

Thanks for the responses everyone . Home safe and sound. Rented a haul and humped it home.
Yes I called koons Toyota but they did not have the parts .
Burned up a left rear bearing , axle seal shoes drum . The works.

The haul car carrier wound up with two of its four tires flat on the way home and almost crashed it !
Got home at 4 am. Left williamsburg va at 6 am day before.

Will not stop me . Fix t go again !

Did you hear/see/smell the fault coming? because I want to replace before they fail but nothing strange at the moment and almost drove 90k kilometers.

 

[Stumpalama]

I ran min on my FJ40 for at least 19 years... I don't know if they were original, but they were on there in 1997, when I bought it. My experience is that they last a really long time.
90k is nothing... unless you carry heavy loads regularly.
