12/11/24- We have one being built, will be ready within a week.
Is your steering loose? A rebuilt gearbox is what you may need. Avoid downtime with a fully rebuilt gearbox. We recommend getting a new one over a used one. Why? Almost all used boxes of this year will have over 200,000 miles on it, so you are just putting "a bandaid" it. Do it the right way and get a newly rebuilt gearbox. Fits the 1991-1997 left hand drive FJ80s, FZJ80s and LX450s. Part # 44110-60211.
As of 12/1/2023, we have a new rebuilder. Each box goes goes through a thorough rebuilding processing which entails:
- washing it thoroughly
- inspecting all components to ensure there are no worn parts
- prep stage which includes buffing, polishing and sanding
- a fresh coat of paint
- build and reassemble
- put it on a hydraulic test bench for 1-3 hours to ensure no leaks and it works as it should
Due to being thoroughly tested, when you receive your newly rebuilt gearbox, it may have some places where the paint is rubbed off as well as fluid remnants.
Attention later FJ60 and FJ62 owners: this is a common upgrade but you need to an have a offset mount, see the FJ62 gearbox with photos and confirm your fitment. We recommend searching on IH8MUD on what is all needed to complete this.
A $500 refundable core charge will be added by selecting the checkbox. ONLY Toyota OEM FJ80/FZJ80 cores are accepted. We do not take other models in lieu of this (ie, FJ60s/FJ62s). You will get the full $500 back if your core is rebuildable (ie, no broken sector shafts, splines are straight etc) and the core is received within 30 days from the ship date, which is the day we ship your box out to you. Core refunds can take up to 30 days. Cores received after 30 days but before 60 days will receive up to $250 back. Cores received after 60 days will receive $100 back. Note, we really want the core, but people have not been sending them back or sending them back months later.
It is also a good time to replace your high pressure power steering hose.
