Currently having an issue with the oil filler plug on my SJ410. I haven't had the car very long and went to do oil change for the diffs, transfer box and transmission today and it all went very smoothly until the very end when I was doing the transmission. I took off the drain plug and drained it bu...

Ok I've already ordered the new gasket but not any bolts or washers. I have got the Haynes manual so I'll tend to check things in there before I do anything.

Cheers

Douglas I will be taking it from the UK but will definitely be returning it after a bit of a road trip around Europe!

Pretty sure i have a rear view mirror spare.

I tried to send you a PM Scottie but I don't think it went through. Any chance you would sell a rear view mirror if you have a spare?

Cheers

30 years old? very nice! looks like an unmolested solid example

Yeah man they're not so common! I found it quite difficult to find one that wasn't either cut up or modded

Sorry for the delay! Ended up going down to the pub while the pictures were uploading.
