hi i'm a newbie to this board, from Vic, drive a 76 fj40 and a 80 hj45 troopcarrier

anyone know of any decent places to get second hand 4x4 parts in victoria, prefferably toyota parts. i know of toyhatsu and that's about it. they seem a little expensive for some things, but good to deal with. any other good 4x wreckers in vic?

thats because the clips always break and they are a roadworthy item so they are a good seller, 35 is over the top, unless it is an 80 or 100's then you would be paying more.

what was that arms up for Jferg? is it because i broke my diff, or your so happy to see me??? :roll: :D

so if i can get it together, or you don't mind potentially pulling out a big ass hj45 instead of my fj40, when are you guys able to do stuff?

anyone had any dealings with Southern 4x4 Dismantlers on the Hume Highway Campbellfield?

i was told to try there once for parts, and was told that they only do mechanical repairs, now i read that they offer parts.
