What did you do on your 70 series today? (40 Viewers)

Windscreen crack seemed to appear out of nowhere 10 days ago or so. Maybe it started "behind" the inspection sticker.

Found a replacement at Richmond dealership. About $300 with taxes.

I should heed this advice.View attachment 3708899
Cut the top off and am on my way to a friend's shop to use his crane to install the new one.

How was the drive with the convertible?

Crazy how time flies...had to do the math to see that a 1998 is legal in the U.S. now.

It was pretty wild I found it on Instagram in Australia from a private party. Its 02/98 and it turned 25 while it was in customs! I was sweating bullets the whole time.

Wow, great price. I just had the local Toyota dealer quote me a 56111-60220 (not sure what the difference is between that and your 60230), but they said $595 plus tax and a 20% restock fee if I don't take it for some reason.

How was the drive with the convertible?

Pretty nice. told my buddy when I got to his shop how pleasant the drive was with the 'rag top'. If the install didn't work out, I could keep it open.

Now to wait for the adhesive to cure...5 days.

Curious what adhesive you went with?

5 days seems like looong cure time.

Original 1988 part # is 56111-90K08. Partsouq listed the 60230 as a substitute.
Low price probably because it was sitting there in Richmond already, though no one there could say why.

Isn't the glass different between fixed and folding windshield models?

3mm/24 hours based on temp. and humidity according to the data sheet. As I'm in an arid climate, I'm probably good after 2 or 3 days. I put about a half-inch bead on it, so 12 mm/3mm = 4 days.

Yes

Installed a set of rear troopy seats in a 73 that came out of the factory without the provisions to mount a rear bench . These fit in nicely with a small modification to one of the supporting legs . If snyone is looking I have more of these in grey and brown.

Btw this one will be for sale soon

 

[jblueridge]

Man, that is an awesome setup!

 

[OkinawaWhite78]

Was able to install a head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay with only a moderate amount of bleeding in our 70 series Prado. Hand slipped and got cut on something in the dash. Didn’t have to modify the dash at all and was able to use the stock brackets.

This is what I bought if anyone wants to replicate the setup.
