Any interest in group buy for 73/74 windshield frames?

[Jim_Hbar]

I've been in contact with Dave Stedman of Japan4x4, and he can supply the windshield frames for 41,100 yen - currently just over $500 CDN. The kicker is the freight costs - a single piece by air freight to Canada is as much or more than the frame itself.. However, a pallet load by sea is approx. the same cost.

Thus it would only make sense if we can get 5 or more (preferably more) orders together, and ship by surface..

I would like to know how much interest there is, to determine if there is a possibility of going ahead with this.

Please indicate your interest by posting in this thread.

does it have to be windshield frames or can it be any thing to cut down the shipping cost?

Hi Jim,

I am interested in purchasing a windshield-frame (I need), but there is a problem, I live in Spain, Europe

Which can not be the cost of shipping from Canada to Spain???

Here in Spain, the price of "new" Windshield-Frame in Toyota is 1.300 €€€


if not you better buy it with you ...

Trying to send you a PM but it says you have it turned off

Lulo:

I'd suggest you contact Roscoe, or Dave at Japan4x4 directly - His contact info is easy to find in the "Vendor Marketplace" button up top.

There doesn't seem to be much interest - I don't think it is going to happen.

I want one for my BJ73

 

[Gold Boy]

yes, for my 74.

Doing something different...

Due to the insufficient interest to make a pallet shipment feasible, I've ordered one locally. PM for further details.

A word of caution - the HZJ73 has a different part# than the BJ73/74, and is about 25% more.

why are they different and cost more
its not to do with one being a soft top or something is it

There is about 11 different part # and 3 different prices for them.
I wonder if they give them new numbers just to bump the price up.

I have a new HZJ75 frame and I cant see any difference to my 73 frame,but I would have to remove it to be sure.
Toyota has given different part # to things like brake master cyls even though they are completely interchangable.
