…$95 for my LJ on Amayama. If the price is in between I’d put my name down for one @joekatana …

189$ at Partsouq with 290$ in shipping lol . To everyone local or semi local to me I can order a few more and sell them at 280$ but not planning on shipping them as that is a nightmare.

Exactly why I buy them at my local dealer. No way to ship that huge box.

Pay to play.

It’s what we do.

Are you looking for 53341-90K04? Pre 1990 LJ style? Pretty sure that one is NLA, even though several of the parts dealer websites still list it I would bet they can't actually supply one.

53341-60050 for my 1990+ LJ also appears to be NLA, unfortunately.

This is why it’s handy to ship full container loads . Parts pricing is all over the place worldwide so it makes sense to buy all over the world to get our fix
 
I had to take a few days off to go fetch the JTU60 and the monster F450 that broke on me in Arkansas.

Today I spent cleaning up the 60 and doing some house and shop work

The Wizard came out and made the 6 on 5.5 spanner for the spare.

PowderKeg has the wheels ready. She will be a roller again tomorrow

Super excited to have it on all 4 again even though it’s going to come apart again. For service.

OEM 70 wheels and 255s look perfect to me.

Went for a nice drive. Tire and suspension update is nice.

Filled up the OEM can with no corn for Brendan

Picked up a pallet to make sure I put the first scratches on this freshly painted bed

There is no tach so you kinda have to play it by ear :)
 
Didn’t get on Too until this afternoon. Tie rods out for new TREs. Soft brake lines all getting replaced.

Wild how nice and easy these desert trucks come apart. Even the brake lines come apart like new.

@OGBeno has been out doing desert rat stuff and got back in and helped me with some part numbers. It’s great to have a consultant that can weed through all the s*** out there for 70s. Money well spent.

I’ve been doing the filthy work and Cowboy has been removing Wrens from my new shop.

She’s gotten 4 so far today
