Was blown away.

Thanks for sharing. Quality of a Toyota, compare that to a Honda now. Their pilot and El Camino (ridgeline) comes with a donut spare though they call it "touring" and a "truck" respectively. Deceiving people not second to counterfeit part manufacturers.

Yep, they are thick.

The other good thing being glass is that they don't fog up like all the new stuff.

the 4th gens and 5th gens have plastic headlights?
same with the LC200?

Jason,


How thick is it? More than 1/2"?

Was blown away.

All 4th gen, all 5th gen 4runners, PLASTIC.

Jason,

7mm, which is damn thick!

Nice find. That actually might be thicker than the side windows on my S2000, hah.

I'm almost afraid to ask what it took to break one?

“Damn, they don't make em like this anymore
I ask, cause I'm not sure:
Do anybody make real shit anymore?”

This happened the other day, and the left headlight stood up to the collision.

5 1/2 mm for S2000. I have one too

And a Mercedes GL is just under 5mm, so wow, s2000 is thick.

You just delivered, sir! Was not expecting a reply with the S2000 side window thickness!
Love mine, just need to drive it more.

So that means the 4Runner headlight glass is 1.5 mm thicker. Pretty awesome.
And that's pretty surprising that the GL has thinner glass than the S2k.

how thick probably are the headlight lenses of the UZJ100? They're also glass, i believe.

I'm going around a Walmart parking lot with a hammer and harbor freight caliper. Will update.

Might need to go to Target or Whole Foods to find that one. Wal-Mart is far less likely to having that vehicle in the parking lot.

Wow, that guy must have been hauling ass when he backed into you !

That's sad, Looks like about $4,900 in damage from body shop.
