Many parts are still available through dealerships.
Myself and many others have had good experiences with Partsouq. Hard to fathom that shipping from the middle East would work, but it does. Fast shipping, good packaging. OEM Toyota and Lexus (and others). Land Cruisers were/are very popular in Saudi Arabia.
The website takes aa bit to get used to searching. It is a good place to find part numbers and then search for them.

The manuals are availble under the Resources tab aat the top of the window.

Thank you!

Partsouq is definitely a great resource for parts, even if not buying from them, their parts catalogue/diagrams are much better than any other that I see here in the US and they often include an actual photograph of the part once you click on it which is incredibly helpful for those of us who aren't parts gurus.

Kurt @cruiseroutfit (cruiseroutfitters.com) is a great place to get parts and you can also look up Dave Steadman (japan4x4.com) here on mud for parts that are hard to find (he ships from Japan).

Congrats on the new 80! I’ve been working as well have bought several interior OEM replacements from Partsouq. That’s been the number one for me. Ordered some stuff from Amayama but took longer to ship.

Rick Hendrick Toyota Sandy Springs Is my local parts counter. Order online and go pickup. I've dealt with the others mentioned as well with good luck. Also get good experience with @landtank. Have also found oem parts on rockauto and at Napa but you gotta be looking hard at the pictures to see them.

Also I get my used parts from @slow95z . And I use myairbags in Burford for seatbelt repair work.

Moved the Scangauge screen from the ashtray to the steering column. Mounted it with some Velcro. I like this better.

Does anyone know what "IA" on the scanguage is? Intake air temp?

I'm going to see if I can switch that to Transmission Temp

I had the inspiration to build a sleeping platform today, so I decided to put my extra sheet of plywood to good use and get started. My plan is to camp on it for a few nights to see how it feels and make any needed adjustments. To finish things off, I’ll cover the platform with some "stone beige" Traffic Master carpet from Home Depot.

I also moved the spare tire out of the back and put it underneath. It really hangs low. I want to get a swing-out rear bumper. I guess I will start saving my money!

AIT is your intake air temp. And we don't have transmission temp readings. You will have to buy a sensor and install it in the return trans hose before radiator.

Regarding the low spare tire...
Have you tried the hanger modification?
It helps quite a bit

Yes, It is already as high as it will go. That did help some, but I'll need to get a swing out at some point. I just can't believe how expensive they are

Thanks for mentioning that, though!

I will probably just build my own. Something like this.
