Traveling to Japan for work next month, what parts should I pick up that are available in Japan but not the US? (1 Viewer)

Particularly parts that can fit in a large flat rate box or my suitcase. I know there are some things (particularly HJ60) that aren't available through the US toyota parts distribution system, but short of going through the entire catalog, does anyone know off the top of their head some parts that toyota Japan stocks that I should pick up?

Thanks!

You wanna talk to Dave Stedman (stedman@japan4x4.com).

I second what ^^^ said. Parts stores are not the same as Autozone or whatever you have in CA. They generally require you to have the Japanese title for the particular vehicle you are looking for parts for. Unless you speak fluent Japanese, you will likely not get any parts ordered, and even speaking fluent Japanese might not help.
