These types of threads exist at great length in many of the other series forums, kinda odd to start thinking about URJ200 and LX570 parts that are already getting discontinued. Most of the parts I've seen thus far have been color specific trim items and there are often workarounds with later model parts.
A word of warning for threads like this: unless you **speak** with a Toyota parts professional that has access to the Toyota Parts Master database, and they then confirm the part is discontinued, then please **do not** post in this thread.
Erroneous information is just as bad as a part truly being discontinued. A website that is trying to sell you something is not an authoritative source for information regarding what parts are still available from Toyota or not.
The other caveat is that just because something shows discontinued in the US does not mean that it is discontinued **globally** from Toyota. The Land Cruiser is a global vehicle and while a part might end up being discontinued here it might still be available from Toyota in Japan, say with a different part number. Or, it might be available in the GCC because their supply chain system is quite different than the US Toyota part supply chain, etc. There are **a lot** of differences--globally--about how things are procured from Toyota for service part support to the consumer. The US is the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to global Toyota parts procurement.
Every single thread like this on MUD tends to get muddied up by people that do not understand the difference between "discontinued" and "not stocked". Big difference. Most people also have no clue that without speaking to a Toyota parts professional who has access to the Parts Master database it is basically impossible to know whether a part number is discontinued or not. E-commerce websites **are not authoritative** sources of information regarding part number availability.
First one to kick off this thread, the TRD 3UR-FE oil filter kit is officially NLA. Some still lingering around the US.
Part# PTR43-00081
Good news, the standard 04152-YZZA4 (which supersedes the 04152-38020) is still widely avail. I personally liked the element of the 00081 much better.
