Selling some LandCruiser Salvage
In July 2023, some noob rear-ended my rig on the freeway. This was the opening chapter of a story that involved insurance, scrapyards, bodyshops, and a lot of sweat equity on my part. Part of the story involved me replacing the upper and lower lift gates with parts I contained from a salvage yard. Between the new gates and my old ruined gates, I had a pair of all the innard (e.g., wiring harnesses, lock mechanisms, latches) and some other stuff. I don’t need these duplicates, so I’m making them available to others inthe Cruiser community who might need them.
Each item has a ‘price’ next to it. This figure is half the cost of the same new part listed on this Toyota Parts Center web site.
All items are sold as-is … this page has high quality pics (sometime two for an item) you can use to evaluate each piece. (Click on the thumbnail for a larger image.) These parts won’t be available forever.
I prefer a buyer ‘pick up’ the items they pay for, but I’m reluctantly willing to ship. Buyer will pay the cost of packing and shipping via UPS.
For what it’s worth, I am open to other offers and barter (e.g., ham radio, camping, tools).
| Item Name | Notes | Price | Image |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cover for jack crank access | The rig’s spare sits up behind the bumper, and just below the lower gate and above the bumper is a little slot. You pass the hook-end of the crank through this slot to reach the tire lift assembly. Well, this plastic rectangle is the cover for this slot. I can’t find it in Partsoul or Toyota parts pages. | $10 |  |
| Hinge, lower tail gate | These are the hinges off the salvage rig | $39.13 each |  |
| L-and-R-mud-guard | I have a new bumper and can no longer use these read mud guards. | $53.83 for pair |  |
| Lock assembly parts | These pieces (latches and linkages) form the lock ammebly for the lower tail gate, | $118.20 for set |   |
| Lock assembly, upper back door | This is the latch for the lock | $67.72 |   |
| Key cylinder with lock switch | No key, of course. | $72.30 |  |

| Third eye cover? | I don’t really know what this is. I think it covered the third-eye brake light? | ?? |   |
