They also have the OEM Toyota ones on Amazon but these are much cheaper and they're just as heavy duty.

 

I just got mine from ebay.

There's a guy on here that makes them but can't remember his name off hand. I got mine off eBay before I knew bout him

CBOY808, he is aTW member. Do a search, only limitation is your imagination, great quality, great price.

 

Your driveshaft fell off too?!?

 

Angle grinder for like 4 hours!

This:


To this:


Then Eastwood Rust Encapsulator (was gonna POR-15 but deemed unessary after grinding):


Got the heater on in the garage. Primer and top coats before I go to bed. Putting it all back together tomorrow morning before my dad heads back to GA.

 

Wired in my FJ Cruiser Driving Lights Switch, only cost me two fuses. Looks great though.

 

Well it was over the last 2 days but I went from this



to this

 

@CBoy808 did mine...

 

Oil change and the little air injection filter.

 

Got her dirty. Just returned from a 5 day fly-fishing & exploring new bird cover trip.

And - some mother#$%!er driving way too fast on a UTV (on a shared use section of road) had to swerve to avoid hitting me and in doing so, kicked up a crapload of gravel into my windshield causing numerous chips & cracks!!

 

Changed the spark plugs at 65,000 miles and oil and filter change.

 

Cleaned the interior!

 

Thanks Cody! Same to you, and continued good luck!

 

Am I the only one using penzoil platinum full synthetic

 

Wow - that is a ton of work. Woof!

Stupid question maybe, but why the Eastwood Rust Encapsulator instead of POR-15? I've got a bunch of light surface rust all over under my truck and am gearing up for a little painting... trying to figure out what i'm going to do.

 

Let me know!

 

First off...yes lots of work. I have done a ton of research on what rust products to use and last month ordered a variety of Eastwood products so I could have whatever I needed once I got to it.

I was about to POR-15 but I was able to grind away all the rust including the pitting on the hitch. I decided to just use Encapsulator on everything because I only need it to last until I get a plate bumper in the next year or so.

Between grinding, rust Encapsulator, and internal frame coating I was able to get it where I wanted.

If it wasn't just going to be a bandaid I would have done POR-15.
