What JDM parts do you want?

[tokyem]

Hi All,
I have a connection in Tokyo that is considering setting up a business to sell JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) Land Cruiser new and used parts and aftermarket gear. Any thoughts on what items he should focus on? What do you all want that you've found difficult to source?
Thanks!

P.S. Cross-posted for my homey's in FJ80 tech thread.

Probably should just focus on ALL THE PARTS

How much of the JDM-specific stuff is actually available for 80's aka LX450's compared to all the other 80/LX450 new oldstock stuff? How much of it is LHD or RHD specific? I don't know if Japan is a LHD or RHD country.

I have no idea what its actually called or if its JDM, but I've seen some front windshield visors that go across the front windshield. Some are solid and others I've seen are a metal mesh. They mount on the a pillar. Ever seen those??

I want the overhead console altimeter

I know there are lots of 100 guys that want the OEM tire carriers too

It is a RHD country.

Not sure there is a business model here since there are many parts and truck experts that have been bringing in both for over 20 years now.

Good luck though!

Quad headlights are a standard thing for 80's in Australia - all non-Sahara 80's got them so that's almost all Oz-market 80's - the trick would be finding the LHD-specific 6 x 4 inserts if Toyota had any for the outer hi-low beam headlights (inners are hi-beam only and don't have any 'cut' in the optics).
