FAQ Early Tire Carrier Upper Bumper OEM Replacment (1 Viewer)

Same size, same thread pitch/diameter, and available from your local Toyota dealer for less than $7.00

Hope it helps someone out in the future.

Thanks, it is useful !

Actually I had noticed that Cityracer was selling this hood bumper as a replacement for the tire carrier but when I searched for the partnumber I only found the discontinued one.

Weirdly 53382-90K01 is not referenced at all in the European equivalent of TPD/Amayama...

Thanks @OGBeno I just ordered one from the local Toyota dealership, it’s about eight bucks.

Is there anything off the 70 series that will quiet the voices in my head?
