Beno,
Looking for a heater fan gasket for 1965 FJ40/45. Measures around 6" in diameter. Also need the rubber gasket around the steering column at the firewall.
Thanks

Hey all:

Just an FYI:

I am here through Saturday of this week (11/21/15) and will be taking orders and shipping parts through Saturday.

On Sunday, I hit the road out west to visit with clients and customers, go to Moab and Southern Utah to rest my brain a bit and meet up with some folks for some wheeling, and then will be joining Perry Loughridge and some of the Colorado guys on the Outlaw Run into Northern New Mexico:

Outlaws Run 2015. December 2-6, 2015 - Rising Sun Member Forums

During this time, I will have email and phone access most of the time and will be filling orders as I have the ability to do so.

**I WILL NOT BE SHIPPING PARTS UNTIL I RETURN BACK TO ATLANTA.**

So if you need something quickly after Sunday 11/22 please contact @cruiserdan who will be happy to assist you with your part needs.

If you are cool waiting a bit for your parts, I am happy to order them up while I am on the road and will ship them when I return to ATL.

Decided that this was a great year to do an old school road trip on the backroads and by ways of America.... Once I hit west of the Mississippi, it is going to be all secondary roads since the BJ70 really hates the highways (and the 18 wheelers barreling down behind me).

Thanks for your understanding and Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

Some notes from the Toyota parts world:

1. Always note that interior components that are colored brown/tan/ivory will always discontinue FIRST before any interior colors that are gray/blue-gray/black. Historical Toyota note on that.

2. Getting parts for non-US vehicles (7x series for example) will be significantly harder and will take much longer due to the red tape that Toyota has placed operationally and institutionally within their own supply systems for these parts. While the part might be "live" --i.e., it is a good number in the North American market--it might not necessarily be available to US dealers and parts suppliers for market-specified reasons: "non-import part", truck was never available in the US market hence part is not available for sale.

Sometimes, it looks like I can get a part. I will submit the order and within 24-48 hours Toyota decides whether to fill the request or not. At that point, I have two options:

A. I can submit required paper work for the part release (NHTSA paper work, import paperwork, etc.). Then the long process begins to get your $20 part. Sometimes up to 2-3 months to get the part released to a dealer.

B. I can go around Toyota in the US and just order the part from Japan. At that point, I will need to recontact you and get you a new price reflecting currency exchange rates and shipping fees from Japan to the US.

Unfortunately, that's the nature of the game we play trying to procure difficult to get parts from Toyota. They don't make it easy.

For example, 42601-60262-03 7x gray spoke 16" steel rims. These used to be readily available. Now Toyota is making us do all sorts of crazy stupid things to get this part. I ordered a set for a client at the beginning of October. It has taken me 1 month to get 4 of these rims in. Still waiting on #5. Even though supply shows plenty in the US market.

Just a really sucky way to do business. You would think that Toyota would want to SELL parts... Not hinder people getting them (for whatever their regulatory/compliance/market agreement reasons are).

Not understanding a few things(read through quickly)

Why does it take so long to get that wheel? What do you mean that "supply shows plenty in the US market"? Can you see where the parts are (dealers/in transit, etc)? Are there really plenty of those wheels in the US, or is that some glitchy terminology?

Why would Toyota care that you want a 16" 7x series wheel? ( do you order everything from Japan? is there a massive warehouse of OEM Toyota parts in the US that you order from for most parts...are they the holdup?)

So its possible to get the parts from Toyota of Japan in the end, it just may cost more and take more time?

When you do this:
"I will submit the order and within 24-48 hours Toyota decides whether to fill the request or not. At that point, I have two options:"

whom are you submitting the request to? Someone in the US or someone in Japan?

Do you keep anything in stock?

Sorry for all the questions, but the one man part biz has piqued my interest.

If you want to work 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, answer 300 emails a day, talk to 40 people a day on the telephone and lose money, this is a great business to get into.
 
Yup. those came in old tool kits. The number used to be live in this market but no more.

Correct.

If you notice on the hammer head there is a "infinity" sign with two lines above and below.

That is the corporate logo for Aichi Steel Corporation. They are a Toyota Group company and provide many of the cast/forged/machined parts that you see in our Japan sourced Toyota Land Cruisers.

There are a number of different parts on our trucks that exhibit this logo: steering knuckles, pitman arms, the housing for the power steering gear box, the PS pump housing at least for 80 series trucks and non-US 7x series trucks with gear driving PS pumps (1HZ, 1HD-T/1HD-FT/1HD-FTE engines for example).

Here is a very cool picture of the a number of the parts that Aichi Steel manufactures for Toyota to be placed in our Land Cruiser.

See how many you can find, name the part and then know what application they are specific to (@cruiserdan can't play :lol: )

So, I gotta ask .... How much for an OE hammer to go in my 74 series tool kit? :eek:
