Cabin air filter size for JDM LC100 VX? (1 Viewer)

[gregdawg89]

Hi all, the cabin air filters that "should" work for this year & model don't fit and are much too long to fit into the filter slot. (See pics below). Does anyone know of a filter that would work for this model? I've got a 1998 JDM LC100 VX (Model: KG-HDJ101K-RNPGZ) and I've seen tutorials on the forums and on YouTube that say to use the Denso 453-1001 or the Toyota 88568-60010 filters, and yet those are far too big. They are about 12" long and the space I see on my rig is only about half that, around 6" deep. Any ideas? Thanks.

What's in there in the second picture? It looks like you've got a filter installed. I'm just wondering what it looks like side-by-side with the filters that are too long. Or if you could get a part number from it.

edit: Is it possible someone took a single filter and stood it upright instead of having two laying one on top of the other?

That filter will work on a 8/2002+ build JDM 100, not yours. I don't see one available for yours but doesn't mean there isn't one.

What's odd is that there's a little access "door" there but I don't think filters were ever installed in there. Meaning, it was a JDM option that the first owner didn't take. But searching various parts sites for my make/model/year I don't see cabin filters even mentioned.

Help UZJ100 / LX470, cabin filter won't fit in

Hi guys, I'm new here. I have the same problem with my dad's LC 100. The cabin air filter only goes in half way. But I have a solution for people who already bought the cabin air filter. All you have to do is cut it in half Notice I labeled 1 and 2 This will only work if you put 1 into the slot...

I don't think it's a filter, I think it's part of the A/C system and is a metal "radiator" or something like that.
