Hello,
Are you looking for a front or a rear carpet? Or both?
It is possible that the carpet for that MY truck is discontinued.
You can try looking for a newer model (1999 on) truck carpet.
It is easier to source carpets directly from Toyota or through a vendor such as Japan4x4. Suppliers like PartSouq do not have them.

There are a few threads in the forum concerning this topic, which I researched a while ago for my BJ73. I'm on the road so I can't look them up. Please do a search.
In short and from memory:
Original parts are discontinued.
There are a very few aftermarket offers for the vinyl flooring. I personally didn't see any for carpets (but I also didn't look for carpets).
There is one offer from Australia for vinyl flooring, which has a bad reputation for quality and fit:

In general, front section of the vinyl flooring from newer models fits with slight modification on the shifter gap. There are a few hacks documented how to do it on the vinyl flooring. I assume this would also hold true for the carpet, but to relocate the shifter gap in a neat way might be more difficult on a carpet.
Good luck Ralf

I bought "moulded vinyl flooring" from All Car Carpets in Australia. Here are some pics from their website. Here's a pic of what I actually received. No heel pad, no notch for the steering column and no fancy molding. Their customer service said all was well and the molding, perhaps...
