Good Ole GST and SET still jacking LandCruisers up 20 yrs ago.

 

[MEMCruiser]

SET?

 

[Bomar]

South East Toyota and Gulf States Toyota. The only 2 non Toyota owned distribution in US.

 

[MEMCruiser]

How'd they get that gig?

 

[Bomar]

urban tail is no one wanted to bring Toyota's in to US in 70's and they took the risk......and gettting the reward.

Don't forget Central Atlantic Toyota.... The other distributor.

Toyota bought them out for billions.

Lots of talk over the years of buying GST/SET out.

Not sure Toyota wants to spend the cash to do so since both are now multi-billion $$$ private corps owned by the Moran Family and the Friedkin Family.

And both make BOATLOADS of cash for Nagoya.

 

[Bodean]

Wish I was a Moran or Friedkin! (no moron jokes!)

Imagine the s*** you would have caught in school if you were a Friedkin-Moran...

 

[OGBeno]

Nice Lash.

I think the TRD Pro packages will be the start of a lot from Toyota Corp. Once they are in the south full time they will notice the depth of GST/SET hanging product on dang near every Tundra and Taco.

The new campus gets larger by the week. It will sure be impressive.

Maybe 3rd generation will sell out but current gen I doubt it. Maybe Berkshire after they dipped in the car business pretty heavy last year.

Anyone got a factory set of 80 rear springs laying around they want to get rid of? Want to try them on the 100. Have a set I can get in August but don't want to wait that long.

If no one close has a set, I should have a set that you can have for the ride.

@ntsaint I have a few sets as well both Land Cruiser as well as LX450. You're more than welcome to either.

 

[JTU]

@offr0adlim0 where how do I identify the wires you speak of? I bypassed the fusible links with no change. I believe something in the alarm has been triggered.

 

[offr0adlim0]

Are the parking lights flashing or do you hear any relays clicking?

 

[JTU]

I hear no clicking or anything. Parking lights are not flashing.

Hey, any of you guys happen to have any 91-92 brown interior trim parts in your stash? I need a drivers side master window switch trim.
Thanks

After the trip to Arkansas this past weekend my exhaust started making a bunch of noise closer to rocks in a coke can so I dropped it off at the muffler shop today to have new cat, muffler, pipe run. They routed it over the frame like I requested but stuck the O2 sensor on the bottom of the lowest point of the exhaust. They said I could bring it back if I thought it would be damaged. Opinions? Should I take it back?

Also the O2 sensor shouldn't be coming in from the bottom so that the condensation in the exhaust system doesn't settle into the O2 sensor and damage it over the long run.
