Hello everyone! This is very fun! I just bought an fj55 1979 and I need a new tail gate. I found one on eBay but sellers not sure what year it is from. I read somewhere that the 78 and 79 tail gate are different from earlier years. Is this true? Can you help? Thanks!!! Happy to be here!

I would wait until a 55 expert hops on, but it looks like it would fit to me. Scroll through that thread, I just barely glimpsed at it.
