To share a dream, but first I really want to thank you for all the help I am getting from you and I hope I can return as much or more to you
Secondly, my dream was to own this model since I saw it the first time long long time ago and it is really rear where I am (2dr model) therefore finding one now a days was chance for me to tap to that dream especially after losing my FJ 14 months ago (totaled) and lost connection with the offroad community, now I want to come back to this community but I dont want ti end up fixing every week and to hear that noise (it is old buy new) it is old but it is a pretty machine made from real heavy steel.
The dealers are killing the parts for this model so you will be firced to buy new (we have AC Delco parts only non of other OEM replacement parts)
So I want to restore it to a perfect condition but I dont want to pay more than I should
I talked to my mechanic and told him to finish the work on the seal of the rear shaft (he had to make a ring of steal) the plan to use the trans until it die
He told me that he couldn't unscrew the plugs (filling and drain) so it goes to the metal shop
