That’s why I included the second link.

Wow, I didn’t realize the exchange rate is 4:1!

You could always swap to the Laille Beatrush rear frame end bar: https://beatrushusa.com/products/beatrush-rear-frame-end-bar-2004-legacy-bp5-bl5?_pos=4&_sid=4d6049824&_ss=r https://www.blackhawkjapan.com/collections/beatrush/products/laile-beatrush-s86103pb-ra

You probably don’t want to know that the Prova mirror doesn’t perfectly fit the USDM rear view mirror (at least on mine). Also if you have the STi “carbon fiber” cover it will only fit the JDM mirror.

It's JDM so you'd have to store it or find a reason to get a show and display exemption, or a Canadian address.

What is this black border around the reverse light?

No better time to throw this on: https://www.killerbmotorsport.net/high-flow-water-pump-housing-ej-series.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzZmwBhD8ARIsAH4v1gVo_bJOSFaanjixB6p14-77O_WlWdAlfRVCtoyz1I3lx_RZAXMZap4aAmTFEALw_wcB

Sometimes you can get lucky contacting someone who is selling parts of a EDM center console and let them know you are looking for everything, like the seller of this piece: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256358423399?itmmeta=01HSY6ACY43EEP8G47NRDBFBBT&hash=item3bb0271b67:g:DEkAAOSwFF5ljrCN&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8OeNColSUyDw4mcx951yNt%2FgCeWbic2pjrik4iIbWApCb3Ojj--cYBjIBBHMSHF765HtO03duaFf2yAoYQCzeW8%2F7XpAVExR0wqkaSFGAAK4OLXC4Rby2%2FjTS9Mt4zlDLhNdrx%2Bfs1GqDYc44k6Jk%2B8pbtkvSyxGJyLOPAId4BEXLgAm%2BxFZLuq%2BZkRBAwKvz%2ByrpE02qRgjauLEr9%2F6wZg25lpU9HzclJRy1xmgpHlrMaDCudMOu2PcRNjYwgJJCwN%2BN9RlWjeoJ6V1H%2Bg5tM2wPbAdoB60ysGXCqt5rGQZyNNZNyEbbXQwTkBw0O5CMQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5rPqcbPYw

@DoctorDaveLGT I have a lot of those rear console vent parts, minus the control door but I never got too far down the rabbit hole to figure out what is needed to make them work because it seems like everything needed is for a RHD car. Have you figured out a way to make it work?

I second that.

Any idea why the PO sold it so quickly? I am the second owner of a 2020 Tacoma with a similar story that I bought in July 2020 with 351 miles. The dealership said they traded it in on a Supra.

What did you have installed previously?

I was going to ask why you flipped your car over for pics.

How she currently sits:

Are you telling us about something that happened almost 4 years ago and if so how did it go? Or, are you talking about next Tuesday?

These gaskets come with an exhaust: https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/?id=20178

You may want to look at a coating like this: https://swaintech.com/race-coatings/race-coating-descriptions/white-lightning-exhaust-coatings/

Looks great! I’m sure you already know this, but the garnish that comes with those tails maintains the line across the back. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u1079117248 I have the same JDM rear garnish as you but I’m running Valenti’s that don’t have any thing that matches with OEM. I did squirrel away a set of the tails that you have with this other garnish though.

The dash didn’t make it…

One of my neighbor’s had their house and NA Outback smashed by trees in the storms here a couple weeks ago. Of course, after this newspaper article they also had it burglarized. https://www.oregonlive.com/weather/2024/01/massive-falling-trees-destroy-portland-couples-house-making-them-feel-like-they-were-in-superhero-movie.html?outputType=amp

Be sure to swap the VIN plate on the dash over. When I got mine swapped under the sticky dash warranty replacement they forgot to remove the VIN plate which luckily I noticed and they were able to save from the trash but they gave it to me in a bag.

Seems like with enough warning prior to the trip you could increase your AAA/CAA membership to include longer towing distances.

@DoctorDaveLGT One other thing I forgot that you’ll want to get with the reclining seats is the tonneau cover that has a flap that extends towards the back of the rear seats and is spring loaded to stay in place and slide back with the seats. You can probably find a better condition one than this, but here is an example: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/t1105929991

In addition to Buyee, which is easy to use because the link is at the top of every listing, I've used https://myjapanbrand.com/ which I found on the JapanParts.com page and https://importmonster.com.au/. There are some items that Buyee won't allow you to purchase and the other buying services are helpful for those items.
