Thanks guys in advance.

Don't know which side is reversed or standard but any stock fj80 tie rod end will be 23mm thread like you need.  Just have to figure out which direction the threads are..

Buy both and you'll have a spare for the other side!    Spare parts are good!!!

I agree with cheesy,  buy both sides so you have a spare

Wouldn't that mean he would need to buy 3?

Nah, it would mean that if he ordered both, then one of them will replace the damaged one.  And he'll have a spare for the other side. 
Especially, when he doesn't know which one he needs.

[OOPS]

The marks on the tierod and draglink tell you that side is left-hand thread.

That's what I'm saying. There would only be a spare for one side.
