I ordered mine from a local Toyota dealer parts department less than a year ago. By picking them up at the dealer I didn’t have to pay shipping. And, if they had been damaged in freight, that would’ve been on the dealership to rectify. Fortunately they were in good shape when I got them, and...

I keep reminding myself that in 1996 my 80 Series had a sticker of $49k. Today that’s over $90K which makes the new 250 Series cheap.

I’ve built a mid-tier LC the way I’d want it and am at just about $70K. That’s a chunk of coin for sure and doesn’t factor in what the dealer is going to add-on, or the aftermarket wheels and AT tires that are a must. I like the wheels on the GX550 Overtrail but that’s where it ends for me. I...

I’ll PM you

@ranma21 Do you still have one of these available?

What I’m referring to is the plastic louvered vent cover has a rubber edge/gasket/ weatherstripping. It doesn’t seal out all water but it certainly cuts down on it.

A hopefully helpful note about the louvered vent covers: I replaced mine last year and it was a bit of a pain. I had to order new ones and the rubber gasket along the edges was so poorly attached that it almost entirely came off as I tried to get the rear quarter window weatherstripping to...

Great question. Toyota Parts Deal is $304.79 for OEM same part number.

I know this is an old thread but I’ll take my chances that someone can help after the great passage of time. I pulled apart my master switch assembly to clean all the typical blackened contacts, in hopes of fixing a lock issue. Cut to the chase, that damn little master window lock spring stayed...

Wish I had a helpful solution but alas I do not. My (96) driver side passenger door would not lock with either the key, fob or manually using the driver master door switch. Assuming the actuator, I replaced that. Still doesn’t work. I can UNLOCK all doors using the key, fob or master driver...

Thanks. The running boards have since been removed, eliminating the need for the mystery piece.

I wish I’d been smart enough to do this. Very happy with how mine turned out but good lawd—measuring 20 times before drilling once was nerve wracking.

I just installed Pioneer TS-G1045R in the rear doors. It required some cutting and mods to the plastic factory mounting “cup” but I’m very happy with the results and it allows the factory covers to be used. I found them on EBay as new old stock, as they are no longer available.

Doesn’t bother me. I still know what I’m driving as do those who know. Those who don’t know, don’t care (because they’re probably driving a Prius).

You have my attention! I’ll eagerly await instructions on shimming the spindle mount. And the limit linkage is very intriguing, although drilling another hole in the plastic is already causing me anxiety 😆
