Finally came across a 2002 LC with 180K. Motor was locked up, but Pan, Filter and trans fluid were all clean, going to test all the servos this weekend. If it works out I'll probably do an upgraded valve body and call it good. Have been driving mine with out OD for a few months. Dropped the...

I'm in the same boat, got my hands on what looks like a clean used trans, plan is to just swap it in and hope it works. I'll share what I come up with as well. Thanks for any insight.

There's a $600 130k mile 2002 a tundra trans at the local pick a part. Know I'll have to switch out the transfer case. Thoughts?

No one has done this? Or have seen documentation?

Ok, definitely can go OEM but shipping is the killer. Mega zip said they can combine shipping but just a few of the larger items is pretty high. Ended up going the Alibaba route, will see how it goes. I'll post result but don't know how transparent to be as to not disrupt Alpha Offloads...

Yes, partsouq, megazip, etc.... It's why I need a vin, they only use vins to confirm options for your car. So, need a vin...

Just bought 2 off Alibaba, guessing same as that ebay one, we can compare notes when it comes in. $45, shipping is difficult because I'm combining with a bunch of other crap, but I think about another $40

Looking to obtain a VIN from a new 2022/2023 Prado 150 VX Matte Black edition. Really just need it for parts verification. None of the overseas sites post vins like they do here. GCC because left hand drive and can make sure headlight part #are correct for use here.

If I were to do this, I'd rather keep the AFS, I think the 150 Kakadoo trim with airbag suspension in the rear should have it, just don't know which headlights those are. Based on PRICE, $1,225 Each (yikes) 81145-60J20 Right 81185-60J20 Left But, then also want to make sure they are LHD aligned.

No, personally want the 'flat back' and keep the rear glass that opens. Intent of this is to inform, and for anyone that has done the research to add to it here so we can collaborate if you want OEM Parts

***Not Complete, consider this a DRAFT list of stuff needed*** **Prices are based on what I pulled yesterday 9/14/23, will probably change**(pulled price from cheapest warehouse) I had a small fender bender this past week and was considering a Prado - swap. Still on the fence based on effort...

Thanks for this. I'm liking the adjustable height lifts as a better solution to spacers, can grow into different heights as build/needs progress.

Interested in front clip 2018+ style rear maybe later.

It was red FPIG, no cork gasket. But yeah. My Over Drive is gone, replaced 5 qty of fluid, new filter and runs ok, but got to keep it out of OD. There is one shop in town that I'm going to call and see if he'd done one before and how he feels about it. If that's a bust i'll do it my self...
