[NorCal55]

Anyone have a NOS or otherwise new tailgate window motor gear for a 1973 FJ55 (early version - see image for model needed)?
also looking for sources for weatherproofing for the rear tailgate and window.

been searching and searching with no luck.kids love the wagon but won’t ride in it now due to exhaust fumes being sucked back in

there is a 55 section here:

there are 2 different gears an early and a late, not sure which one you need.
there were some reproductions made in brass, not sure any are still available.

Thanks. Yup, looked through. no luck.
Seems no one is making repros anymore,
since a machinist who used to make a metal version passed away 5-ish years ago.

you can post a wanted thread here:

and see if someone has one squirreled away
again you will need to know which version of the gear you need.

I think I have a good used one, but this isn't classifieds.

I just recently sold my last one to a guy in the 55 forum who was buying it for a spare. It could probably be scanned. So like @3_puppies said, you should ask in there.

I was looking for some OEM parts for my 40 today and tried your part # on Amayama and Toyotaparts deal. Hope this helps.

EDIT: I put the 55 gear in my cart just for fun and paid for it, 2 days later I got the dreaded NLA email.
