siq gxThe GR Heritage program is getting some love at the Tokyo Auto Salon (think SEMA Japan).

I'm 50, if I can get another 30 years I probably won't be driving after that. Of course none of us may be by then.

Here is your chance to place your request for parts that are no longer in production that you would like to see Toyota bring back. It looks like the first part for the 80 series will be the rear axle shaft.
We should just upload the discontinued thread
Not sure if it’s been announced anywhere on this forum, but Toyota announced today that they are adding the 60, 70, and 80 series to their roster of heritage parts that are to be sold by their dealerships and have created a survey for parts people would want. As excited as I am about this program, I know there are parts that I would probably need, but am not educated enough to know or name off the top of my head being that I’m still learning about my cruiser. I figured I’d make this post with the link to the website of their survey and hope anyone who knows or needs parts that they haven’t been able to source can go and make their voices heard and possibly help each other out with the ever growing list of discontinued parts maybe!
Hope everyone has a great day!

Lol, as soon as I read three times, I scrolled through the forums again and saw the posts you’re referring to. I didn’t scroll down far enough the first time to see it. 😂
That’s awesome though, and I hope we do get some parts to come back! I really hope some of the discontinued electrical comes back for sure as I have some ac components I’d like to replace and can’t source any! 😕
good timing, thanks for reminding me, I need to fill out the form for oak sun visors.
That would also be nice to have back! My passenger side one has just recently started to sag a bit, but haven’t looked into it myself to know that they’d been discontinued! What’s the part number? I’ll fill out a request for that part as well!
I filled out the form for the cooler stabilizer/power transistor that lets the AC controls go from low, med 1, med2, and high (p/n 88650-60130 in case anyone is wondering) and the blower motor resistor for the 40th anniversary edition/ lx450 that I can’t seem to source anywhere I’ve looked (p/n 87138-60230).
I am submitting everything under the sun with *B0 (dark oak)
Headlamps and Windshields are my #1 and #2 requests, no one makes an aftermarket replacement equal to the originals.
Then Turn Signal Lamps, Corner/Park Lamps, Front Wiper Motor, HVAC Front blower motor, A343F Transmission, Throttle cable (Transmission), ----. Wishful thinking but it can't hurt. The more requests they get the more someone might take notice.

If/when any 80 series parts get reproduced, how are we meant to find out about them and if interested subsequently order them if not in the USA?
Will we have to provide 'proof' by way of VIN and order through a dealership (will or are any Australian Toyota dealerships being involved?)?
I believe the only parts being considered are electrical and driveline (engine, gearbox/transfer, brakes)? No body parts.

You will need to order from Japan.
The website has a list of the available parts.

Corner lamps are available dude unless you insist on the ugly ambers. Turn signal lamps readily available via scrap and look fine even as they age since ugly amber.
Everything else you listed, vamos!!!!!!
PS - how many threads do y’all want to litter this forum with the same old news lmao have some respect por favor

Done.
I wonder in practicality how this will work as a lot of parts are going to be specific to a particular market and/or a particular 'driving configuration' ie LHD vs RHD. ie.
Here in oz most landcruisers are diesel and we're a RHD country. Whereas in the USA most landcruisers are petrol and LHD. Also 80's sold in the USA were all Lexus LX450's I believe while Lexus-badged landcruisers (450's 470's and 570's are all I've seen) are quite rare here. I cannot comment on how Lexus-badged landcruiser option levels correlate to non-Lexus badged option levels.
Most 80's here have twin insert headlights for example and 'sahara' config ones are rare.
There are a lot of barn-door 80's here which is probably also different to the US. Ironically a lot of barn-door 80 specific parts are still obtainable (though it won't always be that way).
I am not in a position to understand how decisions are made about reproducing and distributing out-of-production parts.
