Just ordered a black one for the front grill. Keep up the good work.

I wanted to give another update. I have a little gold/champagne filament left over from a custom print I did for a member. I went through 3 failed prints before I got the correct temp settings all dialed in. I had not used that brand of filament and every brand has their own unique printing issues. Once I got the order filled I realized I had a little left over to do a few more prints. If anyone wants a black/champagne color combo of any of my designs on ETSY just shoot me a PM and I can make it happen. You can order the emblem through my etsy page. Just make sure you leave a note on the order about color preference and send me a PM first to ensure I still have some gold left. I can do a black background with the champagne text or a champagne background with the black text. I will be able to do this for as long I have the gold filament. (which wont be very long) I will post a pic tonight of what the color looks like.

Looks like I had my first shipping mistake. I sent out a YOTA TEQ badge to someone who ordered an LX450; but I don't have anything missing from my stock which means a YOTA guy probably got an LX450 badge. If someone got the wrong thing PLEASE PM asap so I can get it fixed. Since I'm so green with this new endeavor I figured I would eventually make a dumb mistake. Hopefully I can correct that so I wont make the same mistake twice.

Update time again. I am fianlly releasing my final TEQ design. This brings my total to 6 different TEQ badge options with 2-3 color options in each. This was an after thought that only got done due to demand. I had quite a few guys ask me through PM's and emails if I was going to release a more "traditional" looking round badge with a flat background. Some didn't want the honeycomb rear pattern. Others liked the pattern but not the oval shape. So here is something to hopefully make the last group happy. This can be mounted on any Landcruiser from any year and any flat surface. So be creative and enjoy finding the perfect mounting place for you. These are on my ETSY page and ready to ship. Finally I can move on to my other designs.

Here's some quick pics of the champagne color Brad did for me. I'm planning a fix to cover up the screw holes from the PO tail light brush guards. I've seen each color of Brads badges, and the black/gold is awesome for a light colored cruiser!

It appears I got more interest in the gold/champagne colored filament then I actually have filament, so I went ahead and ordered another spool of it to meet the demand. This time I shouldn't burn through 90% of the spool trying to get the temp and speed settings all dialed in. I ordered the same brand so I should be able to jump right into printing with it. (fingers crossed). I will make a small batch of the emblems requested and post pics some time this week.

Thanks bhicks for a great product. Fit perfectly.
I am interested in the front and rear emblems for my LX450. My question, before I order from your link, is: Does the rear hatch emblem have the two or three little tangs that the OEM "L" has? I was using fishing line to remove the rear "L" and noticed the tang (actually broke one). My only concern is about holes under the emblem leaking water into the hatch and creating a rust issue down the road. If your emblems do not have the mounting tangs what to you suggest to plug the wholes in the hatch?

Sorry about the long delay in my response. I have been overwhelmed with the cup holder design and forgot to monitor this thread. In regards to the tabs on the factory rear hatch emblem; I did not duplicate them on mine. They offer zero support an don't mount to anything. They simply help with centering the emblem. I wanted mine to be universal and fit on an LX or Yota and be able to slide left or right as desired. If you're worried about rust then use some silicone and fill in the holes before you attach the TEQ emblem. That should take care of your problem.

Time for a final update on the TEQ badges. The orders have slowed down and I have made a decent batch of every TEQ badge style in every color. I am now moving on to the "TOYOTA" badges, the "80" badges, and the cupholders. What I have in stock is all I will have. I will not go back to print the TEQ badges for quite some time. If you want a TEQ badge then you need to order while I have supplies left. My hope is that I will be able to get back to making another round of TEQ badges some time in late summer or fall of this year.
OK, thanks for answering my question about the tabs and your design makes sense as to work on both LC and LX. I'll order mine in the black!

Brad- I got my upper tailgate TEQ badge. It's perfect, covers my L badge holes up and make my 93 a TLC again instead of a mullet (business up front[TOYOTA], party in the back [LX450]).
Thanks for the freebie too
. Just gotta find a place to stick it.

It has been a while since i updated this thread so I figured it was time. So it looks like I will be getting another printer. What i need to know is if there is still interest in any of the TEQ or "80" badges. I have a few of every style in stock on ETSY with an FJ40 specific one getting ready to come out; but I want to get an idea of how many more I should make. That will give me an idea of how I want to use the new printer. So if there is a certain style you are thinking about purchasing then let me know through a PM/conversation or you can just post that on this thread. You aren't committing to buy anything. This is just a simple poll. If I only need to make a few more of some of the designs then I can just delegate that task to my old printer but if there is a LOT of interest then I may need to use my new printer to meet that demand before I move on to new projects.

I have a TEQ badge and it is very cool. I would like to also have the TOYOTA script badge with the 80 in the background for my factory 97 grille. I will then move my TEQ to the back of the truck. If you make some of those, I'm in. Thanks

In the last few days I have been getting a LOT of requests for the "TOYOTA" grille badges. That is the next project in line. As soon as I get caught up with the cupholder project and demand slows down, I will be shifting all of my attention to the "TOYOTA" grille badges. My guess is that it will be sometime in September when I get that project rolling again. When I put it on the shelf it was 99% done. I had a few really minor fitment issues I had to dial in. One or two more prototypes with changes should wrap that up.
To the rest of you guys: I now have 4 double cupholders in stock with the 5th on the printer now. The last cupholder with cell tray sold last night, so those are officially gone. I have 4 singles in stock as well.
