Not sure if this has already been posted but....DYK the rear step plate hardware ( I beleive is NLA) has a direct replacement already on your rig. the rear cargo carpet front edge is held down with the same items only in black. Grab me at your local pick n pull before they are all gone.

I made my own because I thought they were NLA but when I talked to BENO he said there was tons of stock and SOR had tons as well. So I just made what I needed and spent FAR more than I needed to

I'm just gonna put this here because I just learned it just now and there is a fresh pack of these in my truck now

You can spell Toyota with circles of the sombero emblem.

Hey Guys Just want some help on deciding want to buy. The reason I want to buy a SUV is because I just found that my wife is pregnant and we are having twin, I know I am supper happy haha. I currently Drive a 1996 Acura Inrtegra Sedan and I don't think this small car will protect my babys. I was looking into buying a 1995 Land Cruiser with A center locking differential. Is there any pros and con in the center locking Diff it will great if I can have your input.

Don't post your question here. This question has nothing to do with this topic.

Did you know you can fix your vertical headlight adjuster with just a #1 phillips head screwdriver and a drop of superglue?

 

[Dragos80]

120mm, I read your post about fixing the headlight adjuster, but still a little foggy about the glue. What is it used for?
My DS headlight is pointing to the Orion's belt. I need it to point down the road. Maxed out the vertical adjuster. I'm about to drop a gallon of glue on the headlight in the next 5 minutes.

The metal shaft that goes into the gear that runs horizontal strips out. Once it is stripped, you can pull the metal rod with the phillips head on it out of the plastic gear. The glue just makes it stick again. If you put even a tiny bit too much, it glues the gear to the journal and that would suck.

 

[120mm]

While you have the adjuster off, go ahead and just crank the headlight down to a more reasonable height with a needle nose vice grips, then use the newly refurbished adjustment screw to fine tune it.

Thank you. I'll try to take it off tonight.

Did you know that CDan taught Beno how to be a real Toyota parts guy?

Did you know that Beno spent two years pulling parts and doing inventory in a warehouse before he was allowed to talk on the phone with customers?

Did you know that Beno gave up a career in academia doing his PhD to become a Toyota parts guy working for CDan, emptying CDans trash on a daily basis....

Did you know that if it wasn't for CDAN Beno would not exist?

Far out huh?

That's why the most important Toyota Land Cruiser parts person in North America really is this man named CruiserDan.

He is what everyone who knows him calls him: The Shaman.


One day: I hope to be slightly as cool as The Shaman.

FACT


and for the record...I too, one day, hope to be slightly as cool as The Shaman...

80% of all Land Rovers are still on the road. The other 20% made it home........

I thought 100% of all Land ROVERS are in junk yards around the globe. Wasn't that news on The Onion?
