Took mine apart and a rusty clump of needle bearings deposited themselves on the floor. Anybody got an arm with good bearings in it? Also need the lower shock mount bolt and the sleeve for the upper arm mount (the one that attaches to the frame). Apparently, grease was unavailable around here for quite some time.
     Still looking for an instrument surround panel as well. 
   Buy the parts or swap for some of the high quality stuff I have listed for sale here.
Thanks, Peter

This one is listed as a part for an 86. We know the 86 model does not have a relay arm. I am 99% sure this one is for the 88-90 model. the 91 and later relay arms have a slight offset and I don't see that in the photos.

Yep, good eye Fred.

Pete, you can bet any relay arm you will find will need new bearings, so why not just put new bearings into yours? They are available:

2) Don't store your FJ with E10 fuel https://tinyurl.com/3cjrfct5
3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.
4) Important items for the '84-87 FJ's:

I just thought I'd put it out there. A part from somebody on the forum is a lot more likely to be in good shape, honestly described and priced reasonably than anything on eBay. So far, no replies though.
