Hinge protector (1 Viewer)

[Antlerboy]

Would anyone know where I can get a hinge protector for the ambulance door of my FJ40? I hate the way when you open it all the way, it marrs paint.

I recently saw this on a picture from an online auction and had to save it and ask y'all here about it.

Thanks for any help.

Got any 3d printer friends, that should be easy to do.

It's part 68959-90301 I got mine from frontier toyota for $5.40, your local dealer may be able to order it
I think some rubber edge protector trim would look nicer, but this is more secure and there was no question if it would fit.

Here's mine I got from @cwags12 years ago. Still holding up

I sure appreciate it! A clear one would be wonderful. I'll check it out!

Ordered 2 for less than $8. The shipping cost more than both Crazy how that works, but oh well. I sure appreciate the help! Can't believe those didn't come stock at some point. I've just thought it was something I had to put up with, and be careful with over the years. Am super stoked that this is a thing! Thanks all!

Toyota Parts Deals has this listed for only 78 and later models. Did the hinges change after 77?

I got the 2 I ordered and went to put them on, and they only fit my blue '83. Evidently the hinges are wider on the older models? The brown '78 I have is wider by half to 5/8". Who'da thunk?
