Exactly like the thread reads - Yes

I have a stone chip that is controlled (Windshield repair) but in discussion with the Canadian Prado group, there were a few JDM junk yards mentioned which I have forgotten their exact name. Let me see if I can find that thread

Why not just buy from one of the wreckers in BC ?

Wondering if anyone else has to go down this rabbit hole yet The Muffler - It seems both the (97) Prado (gas) uses the same muffler as the (97) 4runner gas The EPC tells me 17420-62210 This PN crosses to the 97'runner as well. Toyota Canada wants $770 for an OEM while Walker sells a...

So eventually that was traced to the plug wires - Did the transmission service (3l new fluid by pan drain), MAF clean, injector clen (LiquiMoly) and Vacuum check - Finally a plug wire swap cleaned it all up. I do have a small muffler hole - I think for that I will start a new thread to...

It is amazing how fast time gets away from you. I drained and refilled the transmission pan in '20 and '21 but it looks like I missed summer '22 and - Yep - You guessed it it was down a quart - Well this being a Metric truck it was down a liter :) . So I did the pan drain and refilled with...

Update This April passed 3 years on the road and now at 181,000km (75,000 km by me) There is a muffler hole that is acceptable now - But soon will need a muffler swap out. It looks upon first glance the muffler itself is the same as a 4 runner, but the piping is different - Humming and...

Look back in the thread - There is the 90series EPC (Electronic parts catalogue) linked Then dump those part numbers into Google or Rock Auto for options. So far I have been quite lucky with that route.

3rd gen runner yes. The first thing I did to the truck (Spring 2020) was the infamous lower Ball Joints - I did not get those off the market - Toyota OEM only - About a year later I did the inner tie rod on (my) driver's side. It was an exact match to the 3rd gen runner. There is an EPC for...

There is a global shortage of containers and that is compounded by lower-than-typical shipping levels. What was a $2400 certified seaworthy container in Dec 2019 is now a $8000 line item. _Then_ finding a space on a boat is even harder. _Then_ the lack of resources to unload the container and...

Wow - Almost a year since I posted last. Rolled over 162,000 end of July (100,000 miles) - Took the truck off the road for a couple of weeks as I attend to bland service tasks with the Galloper on the road. The rear parking brake looks like it lost a spring, causing the grinding noise that I...

Good link, but same result for our poster... 46504 PLATE SUB-ASSY, PARKING BRAKE, LH 46504-60050 1 $516.95

I do not know any of them by name, but there is a collection of JDM/RHD auto wreckers in the Vancouver BC and Victoria BC area - they may have some

"Timmy the tool man" on youtube has a detailed video on re-bushing the Gen 3 auto shifter - It would not be too different to the 90 series Prado

3rd Gen 4runner hitches work. FOr bolts i just bought the 4Runner equivalents - Sure it is 4x the price of "joe's bolt shop" but it just works without the muss and fuss of matching threads and bolt gauge 70'ft lbs it your target I gooped it up good with Antisieze as I live in the salt. If...
