    Thats what i was thinking too. What with tho?
    emailed the guy and awaiting response. For $35 worth a try. I've been seeing more 4runner spindles with abs more than anything.

    Found a couple yotas getting parted out at a single yard in phoenix. So will try my luck with those if not. Gonna call them tomorrow too. Maybe get some other parts i need off em while im at it.

    Edit. ooh he just emailed me back and he's still got it.

    An old wheel speed sensor and just cut the wire off. Or a small plate you can bolt on.

    First gen spindles are the same as 3rd gen 4runners and 1st gen tundras. The geometry is the same.

    Little update.
    Picked up that 4runner spindle yesterday. Guy was cool and even made and installed a little block off plate for that abs bung. Napa has the one good spindle knocked out already so thats good to hear. Hopefully the other one goes smoothly too. But i also gotta have them press out my prerunner hub on the bad spindle, so they can press that back into the 4runner spindle as the 4runner has a 4x4 hub. Which works out good anyways because i have extended studs on my hub as well... After that i gotta hope that my slug adapter fits nice and snug and presses into that spindle...Phew!

    THEN I gotta deal with my leaking rack too. Found out i could actually just swap out the input shaft on it. IF i can source a donor rack that has a non leaking shaft. But not optimistic. Ill probly end up getting napas remanufactured rack if i cant find a donor by Monday. They got one in stock and ready, and im ready to be done with this. Lol.

    When the end's in sight money can fly out of your hand.

    Dam you weren't kidding about the long studs! How big of a spacer are you running?

    Just a 1/4" slip on. My wheels are purdy thick tho. I might've gotten longer ones by mistake. I dont even know if theres different lengths available. It was the first thing i did to my truck when i bought it because the p.o. installed these wheels. The calipers are ground down too. Yeah it's a shit show and im slowly trying to do things right. It just hasnt been a priority. Ill eventually be getting proper fitting wheels and the tundra brake upgrade too.
