Change the last digit to 6 and get the RX330 stuff, so you can play around with the number to try and find other vehicles.

The older they get - the harder it is to find parts.

I do buy extras of some things I know that need replacing often, and then I try and predict what I may be working on in the next 10/20/30kmi.

What I see now is, the closeout parts are more of the unknown brand names. Older vehicles mean less parts out there, which almost seems counter-intuitive because older vehicles need more parts. My GX has no rust at all, the engine is good, but other things need replacing now, full front suspension, driveshaft, steering rack, 'last foot' brake lines. I think the trans is still ok, needs fluid flush. I have most of those parts to put in.

Considering the shared parts with 4Runner and FJ, I think the only parts that we will have a hard time with would be the GX specific ones, which outside of the body/interior, aren't that many. I've got my eye out for deal on the electronically controlled shocks, front springs, rear airbag, as well as a set of headlights/tail lights. Waiting on a deal from one of the leather seat cover manufacturers for when mine give out and need to be replaced.
