ruff stuff fj60 diff cut spring perches

[muddyblzr]

has anybody used them? i was going to get a set for my fj80 axle since im pretty sure they are the same if not similar housings. i heard they don't fit that great but figured i'd ask anyways as they will save me a ton of time not having to make my own.
so how do they fit and am i way off at thinking they will fit my front axle

It required more grinding then I expected, but anything you use will. The only advantage you get (IMO) is you only need one u-bolt so you don’t need to bend the 2'nd u-bolt to get it to work around the diff.

Lots of SOA threads with pictures..

Mine was a bit rough. The piece looked great but the one I got wasn't cut big enough for my axle tube. I made it work with a fair amount of use of the plasma but in the end, it still saved me some time in fab work and it doesn't leave me with a goofy bent u-bolt.

I got Dan to move the front inside hole forward to compensate for the pinion angle. He's good to work with but the kit still requires grinding

hmm yeah i'll probably get them anyway. my only other option i came up with was a piece of 3/8" with holes in it boxed to fit. these will end up saving me time anyway.
i wonder why they take so much grinding and odviously don't fit
