Why different belts for 8/87-8/88 and 8/88-1/90 on SOR? (1 Viewer)

[TexFJ]

And what if your production date was "8/88"? Do both work?

Was a pulley modified?

It's the belt that goes around the AC compressor that is different. Apparently this correlates with different compressors used. Not sure what to tell you about "8/88 build". I suppose you would need to search for parts based on frame number or VIN.

2f engine vs 3fe. Different accessory layout.

If your in the market for belts I went to my local Toyota dealerships part department today actually. And got all 3 belts (2F with AC ) for 60 bucks Toyota belts I'll have them in 2-3 days

I was trying to figure out what was so different. Perhaps a better pulley, compressor, or wider belt... I guess it doesn't matter as long as my equipment is stock hence I can be sure I'm getting the right belts. Although if the compressor is improved in the following year, perhaps I should check it out.

Thanks!!!!

TOYOTA Genuine parts Factory drive Belts are a Great Value , hands down

if , how ever , there still made in JAPAN ........



if you get a parts suppression , belt number made in USA or beyond , well .....

thats when i hit My Mitsubishi BANDO Drive Belt Cataloger .........


ill take BANDO's Made in South KOREA , over Garbage DAYCO or NAPA made

Detroit LOW Grade Pep Boys level Belts on any of My TOYOTA's any day ...


i hit TimingBeltKits.com many many years ago and learned all, about the Real Deal BANDO secret .......

top quality at sometime lower then Rubbish Retail Napa any day


Next time you source any TOYOTA Dealership Drive Belts look for the Yellow
stripe on the outer belt , it WILL be the whole Mitsubeshi BANDO part #

and generally made in japan ............


however , USA / Ghetto non-usa made OEM TOYOTA drive belts are more
popular then ever on newer late Model TOYOTA's .....

MADE IN BANGLADESH ............please Mr. T

take note who was the VENDOR on My USA Drive belt card stock sleeve ......

just interesting ..........

@ToyotaMatt thanks for the low down. I really don't want belts made in Bangladesh.

I always wondered why many Toyota parts websites did not include 1988 model option for the Land Cruisers. Could it be related to the fact that the '88 doesn't match up quite well (as we saw with the belts). parts.adamstoyota.com

They did indeed switch compressors!

I was going through this as I try to add AC to the 3FE I put in my 55:

Wanting to finish mocking up the AC in the Pig. I need an AC compressor found in a 62 3FE with the manifold for hoses. If it can be rebuilt, great. If not, no worries... TIA

Just an FYI @ToyotaMatt the belts Toyota offers in USA are actually Mitsuboshi, not Bando.

But that is just semantics

Either way, the quality is definitely superior to Gates or similar.
