TL;DR: Does anyone know if I can use (69220-60020-03) door handle on a 91 FJ80? Or why my special unicorn has a different exterior handle than every other FJ80 on the planet?
My driver door is making a noise and seems to pull on one side more than the other when opening the exterior handle. So, I got inside the interior and noticed the plastic is broken where the handle hinges.
I looked up using my VIN and ordered the part that came up:
HANDLE, OUTSIDE - TOYOTA (69220-60020-03)
I received a response that my VIN needed this part and it was discontinued:
HANDLE, OUTSIDE - TOYOTA (69220-60020-13)
Of course, they look the same on the crappy scanned drawing.
I had them cancel the order so I could check on here.
From what I read on that site and others, the 91-97 has the same handles ...or at least interchangeable.
Is this a case of a guy telling me what a computer told him to tell me?
Or does it make sense to any of you that there's a tiny subset of 91 80's that have a different exterior door handle / locking mechanism ...maybe more (maybe this will save me a trip on if that ever gives out)?
