Long story short. I bought an Fj60 box from a member of this forum. Turned out the box leaked like a sieve and was loose as a goose. He sent me a paypal for 30 bucks to cover the seals for the box. I sent it to matt at west texas for a full rebuild and to be ported for hydro assist.
Got the box installed and it still leaked like crazy. Called matt and he said that the sector shaft in my box was so pitted from sitting that it would never seal correctly. He did say he would rebuild and port another box free of charge but i have to get another box to him.
So heres my predicament, im in the hole 170 bucks for the box plus shipping and another 140 for the bad box being rebuilt. Im not askin for a handout and i plan on buying another box but i dont want this happening again. So does anybody out there have a box that they know works and doesnt leak but maybe needs rebuilt and doesnt want an arm and a leg for it.
The box i have is from an 83 Fj60. Not sure if years matter but i drilled and sleeved my frame for that box and id hate to buy a box and it not fit.
Please let me know if you can help. It would be greatly greatly appreciated.
