Don't buy used parts for anything other than body panels! The middle east has super low OEM prices. Issa at Toyota Spare Parts in Ghala was unbelievably helpful when I built my FJ40 (they're just of the main road next to the US school). It's honestly not worth wasting time in Mabella or Wadi Kabir.
Hi, I've got a 2013-2016 Tacoma Front Grille that came with my current project. Used but in immaculate condition. $150 Fixed price. Happy to post if you're willing to cover the cost. Thanks, Will
Good Afternoon Mud Folks,
I've got a set of 4 New OEM Chrome Rims, these have been unobtainium for a few years now so I hope they can go to someone who's looking to finish off a restoration. The original retail on these was $360 and the last NOS stock that I could find were priced at $450 a...
OK, so I've just got around to clearing out a spare parts stash, I'd prefer to have you pick up the bigger items but I will happily send stuff if you cover the postage. All parts are new & unused. The prices are fixed, it's 20% off whatever I paid for it (plus no tax)! The only exception is the...

Beautiful work! ~ can't wait to see some more photos of the finished job. The plating and attention to detail is rare to find in this part of the world.
I'm having a hard time finding a reputable shop here in Muscat. Could you PM me the contact details of your body shop/mechanic?
Big thanks...
Thanks Boozwz, it's relatively solid apart from the usual driver footwell issues and a slightly suspect paint job (best described as 'adding character'). The AC system is missing the compresor - I've been recommended a good AC specialist so we should be able to resurrect it. Yes, it's got the...
Hello, my name is Will. I'm currently based in Muscat and about to undertake a restoration project on an '83 FJ40. Here's a couple of photos from the day I picked her up. She came from Dank on the UAE side of country and has suffered the ill effects of a few years mcgyvering. The plan is to keep...
