On my 04 - 22in and 24in. Keep the assembly from Toyota incase you want to go back to Toyota blades only— if you pitch the whole thing and have to buy the whole assembly from Toyota it is around $60.00. Also the Bosch blades are good, but are a soft rubber compound (compared to other blades I have tried) and when they wear out in 6 months they start streaking really bad almost with no warning.
Also, most auto parts stores and even Target and Walmart have reference guides in the wiper blade/refill section that you can look up any vehicle's size.
i knew taking a pic of this would be worth it. Here ya go bud. 100 series wiper specs.
these threads is what makes all other tech sections (40,60,80 series) laugh at us.
just google or call the damn dealerships. finding a wiper size isnt a hard task... which reminds me. i gotta get a new rear wiper.

I'd do a search and prove that those sections have simple no tech questions too...
,but being a hundy guy my searching powers are weak.
What blows my mind is that anthonycds anticipated this question and spec-built a multimedia answer !

Proof shows my searching powers don't even exist.
I never would of thought to take a picture like that. I might start though.

get the piaa silicone blades. best i have ever had. i still have the trial pair of silblades on my truck and they suck ass compared to the piaa. piaa silicone creates a coating on the windshield like rainex and it is insane...only blades to go with hands down.
robertlans... your all f uped in your statements. i will never drive michelins. they suck ass. they do not make a tire for my needs. mind telling us where you are from? and why the wix filter. i have only heard bad things about them. if your trying to stick with factory stuff, why not buy the toyota oil filter? how old are you?

I use my 100 for highway travel thats why I run Michelin LTX M/S tires when I get ready to get a trail dedicated rig I will put BF Goodrich tires on it which I believe are owned by Michelin. I dont care for the factory toyota filters because I have seen them made by three different countries Thailand, USA, and Japan. I am 40 years old, but sorry I am married.
I used all oem parts on drivetrain components. Anything else I replace I go aftermarket.
I hated the michelins so bad. My truck was out of alignment, tires weren't even balanced. Plus they wereflat spotted cause of a slide.
Bu tany way.
Next time around, you should throw some 285 nitto's and everybody will be happy.
And for a highway vehicle. Look no further that the 100 series ( maybe the 200 now
)
FYI - you may find that 16 doesn't work. I put both an OEM and aftermarket 16 on my 99 and the last ~1" of the blade hits the molding at the top of the window. I decreased the wiper size to 15 and it works fine now. I haven't figured out why this is the case yet.
You must not have read much about oil filters then. Wix created the spin on filter, make a bunch of them and only stick the "Wix" brand on their premium line.
I don't think any of the 100 series OEM filters have been made in the USA but I opened the Thai-made OEM Toyota filter and was impressed by the construction.
Just a heads up that this is not the correct size for a 99. The 24" Driver would be way too long, and I know from experience even a 21" is too long. A 20" is what is needed and called for. The passenger also calls for a 20", but a 22" would also be fine. The rear calls for a 16", but it gets extremely close to the trim, so a 15" maybe be a better choice for piece of mind.
Haha, holy thread resurrection.
Ha...yeah for sure. I was at costco and they don't have a size book or anything and this was like the first thread that came up and I would have been screwed if I listened to it, so I figured I'd throw the correct info out there for the next guy.

holy damn, could not thank you enough, every site has 24", 22", and 16" for my '98 105 series except one which got me stressed enough to dig more. I mean i'd just measure but shes at the mechanic..........
Full disclosure for anyone else, the sizes moved up twice from '97 to '00 so double-check. What is My Wiper Blade Size Find Your Wiper Blade Size - https://www.mywipersize.com/make/toyota/land-cruiser.php
