Hello Mud’rs!
Been a lurking member for a while but a newb to the posting forum here.
I have a 2000 LX. I am currently ripping out the oft failed AHC and going with the standard OME and Slee diff drop. (I will post the removed parts in the classified section for hold-outs)
While doing that I decided to replace the somewhat mangled, rusted and nasty rear gates - tailgate and liftgate together. Toronto salt doesn’t help…
Being an idiot, I didn’t even realize that there was a different lower gate from the Land Cruiser, so I bought the upper and lower from Eric’s (forum: eleblanc) 2000 HDJ100 from France that he used for his swap.
Got a call from my body guy (they needed a color change to black) and of course the lights don’t fit. Duh.
Esoterically I couldn’t really care, any improvement is better than what was there. That said my question is: has anyone put an LC tailgate on an LX and if so did you encounter any problems other than rewiring due to different harnesses?
The lights aren’t that big a deal. Has anyone gone with aftermarket tail lights and which ones.
Thanks in advance!
Feel free to mock and jeer for the obvious inept nebwbitude.
