Dang, they're out of stock now. I have the same challenge, may have to go Modding to make it work. I picked up a donor air cleaner housing from the local Toyota junkyard (from a 3Fe 80series!) the outlet on that may be able to be used on my original (which is the same as your top 'before' pic
)...
wait... put that sand back in. It's Ballast! ;) Seriously tho.. good on ya getting in there. Found some Omani dust in mine recently. So good to get it out, and before any moisture gets in!
Well g'dang.....here is the response from McGeorge Toyota this morning:
"Hi,
Part number 16303-61010 is on a large national back order. This component could take us weeks, if not months, to acquire from Toyota once an order is placed before the order would be shipped out to you. Would you like...
Thank you Onur! I just tried McGeorge's site again and completed the order! (when I tried the other day something wasn't working, probably on my end. So, we'll see if I get a shipping confirmation, and not a 'backordered' notice post purchase like the other Toyota OEM Parts Online vendor...
I just don’t have your touch I guess😅 The three I tried could not find one.. But in the spirit of learn/earning my way into this furry cabal, I did find this on an early hulking 80series with the 3FE..
it sure is ‘modern’ with ports to plug, but it may get my by for the moment?
Yota Jim’s FTW😝
Soooo... This is interesting... No Toyota dealer parts house in the US has it, and Parts Souk just told me that thier Toyota supplier is delayed and refurbishing their facility so they can't promise me anything will ship before the 28th of July (if that..) Oh, and heads up: next week is Eid so...
Thanks All for the feedback! I've got the order in at PartsSouk (you're right, they were crazy-fast last time!?!) and also have an email out to Cruiserparts.net as well to see if I get lucky stateside. If I end up with a spare I'll post it up for my 3F tractormoto compadres! The dang thing...
So.. I went and had the cooling system flushed because it was not doing it's job. Well, it turns out that the Thermostat housing at the top front of my ol' 3F was corroded to (bleep) and the shop cant seem to get the part (tho of course they said they had great suppliers for Toyota land Cruisers...
