Then you need to try Ourisman Toyota.

Find your part numbers using partsouq and either buy from them, or cross to Ourisman.

I have been pulling together parts for the last 4 months prepping for front and rear axle and hub rebuild. I sourced from:
Ourisman Toyota
Partsouq
Cruiser Outfitters
Summit Racing

I have been building a spreadsheet for all the parts for my truck along with any updated part numbers. I group things together so I can find them quickly.
I used to work behind the counter back when books were used to find things.

I made it through the rear axle a couple weeks ago, now I need to schedule time for the front.

My LC rolled up to 357K this past week.

For your front buy from Kurt at cruiser outfitters. I did my 95 last xmas, I got the spindles, rebuild kit, wheel bearings for the hubs, studs and cones and nuts, lock washer Star and hub nuts all from there. I have rebuilt a lot of front axles always with there kit and no issues.

Stop by tomorrow (and the next day...and the next) to see again how it's going. They love that!

My kids helped me install the cup holder from @bhicks . This is the second one I’ve purchased from him. Last one was in the beige 80. Good product and definitely a luxury to have.

Haven't done much, went to Cruise Moab. Just ordered RCV rear axle shafts!

X2, for sure! I purchased both the front and second row versions of these cup holders almost immediately after getting my truck. Toyota did almost everything right, but they definitely didn't think about driver and passenger hydration LOL.

That spot is my nemesis on the motorcycle. I never clean it, always get stuck going up it.

Installed some Dealer Option 80 Series Seat Covers from Japan.

My GF surprised me with this charcuterie thing when we stopped for lunch on Lockhart two weeks back. I thought it was brilliant!

That's all the tech content I got!

hey, is that a water meter on that jerry can? I wish they could have incorporated a clear strip to see how much water there is in the can...especially helpful when it's strapped down

Can you still purchase new OEM axle shafts or what’s the reasoning for going aftermarket?

Yup, it's a level indicator I built using a hose and two 90° fittings. It's simple but effective.

Found some deep dust caps and I had some blue slate metallic laying around in the garage for the color match…double whammy! This is the cheaper fix for the rcv zerk nipple sticking out. Rather than a new flange. Trying to keep this thing in budget is tough so
found these at Trail Gear in case it wasn’t obvious.

No idea if OEM is still available.
RCV’s are stronger, and a better design than OEM.

Keep us updated with these. They're on my list, Im just not there yet.

They offer 3 versions;
a direct chromoly replacement,
a 30 spline upgrade at the birfield
or a 30 spline upgrade with a larger diameter shaft, I opted for the 30 spline upgrade with standard shafts it’s only around $100.00 more.

I have the fronts, the rears are on my list and just havent gotten to them yet. Would be nice to hear some real world reviews on here.
