Toyota prado parts?
Im looking for a Prado Rear Door. With the tailgate wheel mounts. Anyone know where or How i can order one. (Import).
I luv the look! Looks sexy with the fifth wheel hanging on the tail especially with the wheel cover!
Reminds me of a G-Wagen Rear end!

You should also get a new engine if you want your GX to be a Prado. Toyota does not market the Prado with the 4.7.

I am curious, after reading some of your posted questions on the subject; why are you trying to convert a beautiful GX470 into a Toyota Prado??? 
I can understand someone liking certain esthetic qualities of a Prado and wanting to install them on a GX, eg. taillights etc. However, after spending the money on a Lexus GX, then to go to the extreme of changing out not only body panels, but the badges from "Lexus" to "Toyota" seems pointless to me. It equates to someone paying a premium to buy an LX and taking the badges off and replacing them with "Toyota" and "Landcruiser" then slapping the Landcruiser wheels and moldings on it. But hey, whatever floats your boat I guess, just not sure why you are on a Lexus GX forum asking GX owners how to convert your GX into a Toyota Prado....

I am not sure exactly where you could get these parts from. Last time I saw a Toyota Prado was in Jamaica and I went to a store there, Bert's Auto Parts, where they sold all sorts of accessories, including the Harrier emblem that now graces the front of my RX300, but also other parts for JDM. However, you may want to ask our friends at Carson Toyota (L-Tuned Parts) about getting these pieces in for you.
I wish the best of luck on your project. I have done a bit of JDM work converting my RX300 into something similar to that of the Toyota Harrier in terms of its looks without the Toyota badging (except on the center caps of the wheels, but that's because of an issue I had when I lived in Mexico). I have even gone so far as to remove the side markers on the corners of the vehicle. Conversely, in Japan, it's quite popular to converter Toyota badged vehicles to Lexus.
