Yes but the one in question is not an oem part.

hello! I’m looking to replace the faded matte chrome finished grill on my LC 200. Looking into the black UAE spec. It seems like the new UAE part is piano black (53101-60590). I’m reading there may be a matte black one available? Does anyone have the PN for that? Also, what’s the quality like...

Meh it’s a 2008 with 170k miles, not going to fetch a lot for it. Might pay for food for a few weeks.

Yes but then I don’t have an excuse to buy the scanner. Plus, I’d rather just have a full model and not worry about one off measurements in the future :).

This is all great info! The reason I need the scanner is two fold: 1. Relative Bolt hole locations for the rear seats to secure panels into the vehicle. 2. Curvy geometry around the trim panels. If anyone has done reverse engineering around these curves and bolt hole locations then that should...

Yeah unfortunately this seems to be the direction most people are going. I think I’m going to buy a lidar scanner and Design some in cad. I’ll share the drawings here if/when I ever get around to it. It’s really something that I have no interest in making commercially since it’s such a grind...

Ah yes, I did find this link too. This post is a real tease. While the major dimensions are labeled and Material is called out, i don’t find the documentation to be complete enough to be actually reproducible. The user notes they have a CNC but has not even shared complete 2D drawings. With...

Understood that you can find results googling stuff - I am looking for something specific with CAD drawings and dimensions provided since I am somewhat assuming other people have the same feelings I do about the options available. Most stuff I've seen in this category are priced to compete with...

Hi Everyone, I am looking for a simple drawer solution for the back of my 200 series. I've seen a few mega threads, but they don't quite address some of the questions and needs that I have. I like the idea of the landshark outfitters rear drawers. I like that fact that they are relatively...

Hmm, anyone have a picture of the grommet location? The thread linked above has a picture of above the grommet, curious where it is exactly under the truck and the diameter. Alternatively, a name that I can search the FSM for will also work.

Hello, If I wanted to route power from my starter battery to the back of my vehicle - what’s the best way to do that? I’m looking to route thick wire (4-6AWG) for an additional rear battery and 12v distribution system. I saw that internal routing is hard because packaging is tight. Is there...

It isn’t clear if it’s OE from 2008. Is there any easy way to tell?

Hello, I’m preparing to fix my slow leak on the coolant valley on my 2008 LC200 w/ 3UR-FE. I’m working in a community shop space, so I want to be sure that I have all the parts (and more) that typically wear out ready to replace. I am roughly following this video ( ) and a few other threads...

Correct. I’m using the latest tech stream virtual machine in the commonly cited thread (How-To: TechStream In 5 Minutes - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/how-to-techstream-in-5-minutes.1034923/) using the recommended VCI cable. If you have a better tech stream guide that I should follow then...
