FJ40 Floormat madness

[FJ404345]

On e-bay today an original Toyota front floor mat is going to be sold for probably around 1K, aren't these still reproduced to the original ones ?

What is wrong with people? This IS madness! It's gray, not black, so I'm wondering if it's '79 and up?

Bwahhaha almost a 3rd of the cost of my 40!

gray is correct for later models

When I got my 82 back in 2004, I ordered a new floor mat(and other 2 vinyl bits that attach)think it was $225.......and it was the last new one in the world that Toyota had, Rick D told me to just put it away.....I installed it, but did put away the last of the new OEM seat covers(and other goodies)

I still go to the ocean and look for any parts that might be floating in from Japan after the Tsunami.......so far just a bunch of Nike's in size 6 and all left feet

The answer to your question lies in what the buyer is doing with the restoration. If it's a concourse restoration, that mat could be the difference between winning or loosing, and getting top dollar from a collector. If it's rolling across a Barrett-Jackson auction stage as a 100% original FJ40, it better have an 'original' OEM parts. Original FJ40s have fetched over $100,000. The $1000 floor mat is cheap when you look at it like that.

No longer available from Toyota and no one is yet making a nice reproduction, at least not in the U.S. Some nice condition used later model OEM floor mats have also gone for big $ on ebay. Now I may have to store my nice condition floor mat and use something else!

That's OK. Lots of people thought home computers were just a fad.

Another future Group buy-project maybe?

 

[Fast Eddy]

I should get my original out of the rain. It's laying across an old Honda 3-wheeler in my yard.

 

[TheHardWay]

You trying to give it that weathered look?

 

[Ristretto]

Someone should start reproducing them

Pre 79 both sides said TOYOTA. 79+ only had TOYOTA on the hump.

I paid $850 to Overton for a near perfect 75-78 black mat. I think it was well worth it. I also bought a pair of mats for under the seats of a 79-84 just because they were available. My 82 has a complete set of mats. I wish someone would make these but i think it is so expensive to make a mold and the demand is rather small.

There's another thread around here regarding the mats. I has considered making a nice reproduction but I understood that someone else was already reproducing them?

Greg - You make a reproduction mat with the craftsmanship and quality like your dash pads, you would definitely have something there!

I was contacted by a guy from UAE who said he was making the late model mats but he dropped out of sight.
