    What are the "new" model cruiser chassis codes, forums section here, etc..

    So owning a 90 and a 120 series I haven't a whole lot of interest in the "newer" models. The one thing I did know or "thought" I knew was that all the newer Landcruisers were 2.8L and I assumed the Hilux were the same. But, it turns out the newer Hilux are 2.4L. When I say newer I mean from...

    Protective plastic dirt trim covers - alternatives?

    Like in the picture, all these bits of plastic covers are disintergrated on my 120, I'd say they're expensive from Toyota and possibly even hard to find the part numbers for or locate them in parts diagrams.
