wheel studs

[unjeep]

I just got a call from my mechanic. In changing out the rotors, he bent two studs on my FJ60, and there are none to be found for a couple of days. However, I know of a guy in town who's got a couple of '70s FJ40's for parts. Question: Will the studs from an FJ40 fit my 60?

Nope. Unless someone has done a disk brake conversion on the 40.

Did you check with NAPA, etc.?

any good auto parts place should have them, look for dorman part #610-265 they are M12-1.5 X 44.8 those are slightly longer than stock but i have after market aluminum wheels and the extra threads help me. this is on my 76 FJ40, but my parts guy can get them in several lengths. might be around 2.00 each, i paid i think around 20.00 for box of t 10 or maybe it was 20.00 for the 2 boxes i bought, it was a year ago but still have the box with 8 left. good luck!!

Thanks guys. We found four auto parts stores that "had them," only to find out they weren't of the right length when delivered. I ordered some from Toyota, and will pay an extra buck or two and an extra day for them. Appreciate your input.
