PVCruiser said:The WS I offer will fit both late and early model '55's. Toyota changed the design, but I don't have pics to show you the difference. The changes are around the area where the top edges of the tailgate come in contact with the bottom portions of the WS I offer. Shoot me an email at seth@pvcruisers.com and I will send you a photo-chopped pic to highlight the area in question.
I'll offer you this grantee. If my WS doesn't fit and function on your FJ-55, you can return it and I will reimburse you for the amount you spent. How's that sound? ( And I truly mean it) We are neurotic about making quality stuff. Otherwise, why make it?

Don't worry, I wasn't questioning the absolute fit/functioning, otherwise there probably would have been a stronger warning in the product description (including turn-over dates), I was just curious....possibly 'early' being even better than 'late'.
Actually, on the 55-list, I even already defended your project, telling list-members that they shouldn't drag their feet, waiting for feedback from others, and playing it safe....if manufacturers stick their neck out, customers should show some bravery too....)
No guts, no glory....why not write the first feedback yourself....)
PS: please send pix to w.j.markerink@a1.nl, never seen this detail/difference mentioned before, thanx!
PPS: would only a dozen of tailgate-versions left in Europe warrant a distributor over here?....)
(largest market was Germany, which got ambulance-doors exclusively; only France/Belgium/Netherlands/UK got tailgates, but each no more than a dozen or so)
