I seem to recall that awhile back someone posted a link to a website where you could enter your VIN # and it would tell you what the numbers stood for. Could someone please repost that website?

Thanks,

John

 

The first two characters is JT. The first character is the place of manufacture...in this case it would be Japan, and the second is the manufacturer which is T for Toyota. US made vehicles have a 1 or 4 and Canadian made is 2, Germany is W.
