100 Series, Where to Source Japanese After Market Accessories? (1 Viewer)

[porkandcorn]

Anyone know of a good way to locate Japanese Domestic Market after-market parts and accessories for 100 Series. Trying to track down some minimal fender flares, but I've also seen many other custom LC's out of Japan that look really sharp, and seem to have features and accessories that we can't get over here in the States.

Currently, I'm looking for a set of fender flares with this same/similar angular sloped and flat-sided profile. The projection doesn’t look more than 2”, and they are probably stick-on. I like the simple, angular profile, and the flattened out sides too. Everything for the US market is huge, rounded, and dumpy looking. These are very sleek, more of a street look.

These images are from a dealer in japan, which i’ve emailed a couple times with no response. COMPANY | ms-moto - https://www.ms-moto.co.jp/company/

There is a guy who is trying to bring parts in by container load from Japan who posted an ad in the Diesel for sale section. Have look in the thread and see if he can get you those flares.

JDM parts shipped from Japan

Hi Team, After living in this wonderful country of Japan for 19 years and owning everything from the 40 series up until the 100 series Land Cruisers, I have always bought, restored, and sold only domestically. Apart from the parts I send to family members and friends that own Cruisers in...

I have bought some rare car audio stuff that was JDM only products from this site. It is basically like our eBay but, this is a 3rd party site that will receive your package from the sellers and then they will send it to you for a fee. So far, I have bought 2 or 3 different times from them and it has been flawless (except for the expense).

Word of warning before you buy anything from Japan right now. I think their postal service isn't serving the USA right now due to Covid. So you have to ship by a higher cost deliver service like UPS, FedEx or etc.

Thanks, I've sent them a message. I'm in full treasure hunt mode now!

Keep in mind, the LC in your picture is a JDM.... and JDM LC's often have body cladding similar to our LX's. If I just saved you a wad of cash, you owe me a beer next time I'm in Portland.

Yeah, I'm just now realizing that is a Cygnus, and the cladding is different from my US hundy. So those flares I like may not even fit right if I find them. Now that I've seen that profile, this may end up in a full custom flare build

The Cygnus looks like the LX470 sold in the US with it's amoeba quad light setup, but with Toyota badges. I think the difference here is that JDM Land Cruiser in the first pic has LX-style cladding. Shouldn't affect your search but I wanted to add the clarification.
