New member seeking advice for parts

[alberto965]

Hi guys!

I'm Alberto, I just finished importing a HZJ73 from Japan and I love it!

The car came without spare wheel holder and it seems discounted so I don't know what do to. Someone knows where I can find it or what else works as replacement? I don't mind if is not oem part as far as it works 😅

I'm based in Brisbane if it makes some kind of difference

Hi Alberto

I don't know if they have what you want, but so far have had everything I needed.

Hey thanks for the advice, unfortunately the part is discontinued, therefore cannot be ordered from there.

Have you actually looked. or just going on "discontinued"? You may be surprised.

Tried the wreckers? Or dismantlers to be PC correct.

I've looked in all the websites where they sell toyota OEM parts and they all say "discontinued"

yeah this sounds a good option

Yes, Toyota would have stopped making them ages ago, hence "discontinued", but what about after market suppliers? My 1995 Hi Ace has brand new rear light assemblies, not Toyota, but Taiwanese copies, they look the same and fit and work, at less for both than one OEM one from wreckers.

I don't know but I think Amayama would carry after market stuff.

Yeah I see what you mean. I wouldn't mind after market stuff. I just couldn’t find anything there. I'll have a look better but doesn't seem they have after market parts there

Another thought, try a Google or other general search, rather than specific suppliers' sites.
