Bringing a 1996 Land Cruiser 80 back to the road: lights, seals and the small parts nobody stocks

The brief

The owner wanted the truck to look and drive like it left the factory, using genuine or used-original parts wherever possible.

What we sourced

Part	Route	Lead time
Headlamp assemblies (RH/LH)	Genuine Toyota, imported from Japan	12 days
Door weather-strips	Used original, photographed before payment	In stock
Rear tail lamp lenses	Refurbished original	3 days

Tips if you are doing the same

1. Send us the VIN / chassis number first — the 80 series changed lamps in 1995.
2. Ask for photos of used parts; we always send them before you pay.
3. Order the seals with the lamps; they rarely survive removal.
