Anyone know where I can get a patch panel for this? This is the passenger side rear cargo area, just behind the rear wheel well.

I think this is going to consume my life until I can fix it.

Whale, ToyotaPartsDeal just canceled my order because that part is out of stock and discontinued, but I think I have a line on some donor parts trucks I can try to cut patches out of.

In the mean time, it's at least sealed:

Yup. It's not a bad tenp patch. Now you're into what I do all the time. Mostly, it's the frames and rockers, though...:)

Looks like an interior leak? The inside looks worse than the outside...

Mostly the wheel wells get holes in them along the seam. I have one that did that and rotted the entire behind tire well out.

To me, that looks like salt water damage from surf boards for the area effected.

That area in all of mine is still intact. :) Granted, I could be wrong...

I actually called to make sure tpd could get that part, before putting it out on this site. And I was assured that part is available.
Sorry tpd did that to you.
You can also try Amayama.com. Then again, it could be the same result as tpd.

I'd bet money that's EXACTLY what happened. My sister owned this thing for like 15 years and it's spent a lot of time with longboards shoved through the rear window.

I'll give Amayama a try too. Thanks for doing all that legwork though!

I seen tpd do this from time to time. They even discontinue bolts on occasion. :(

I was thinking about that too.
The recycle yards used to have at least five 3rd gens at any given time. Now, it takes weeks for one to arrive.
I wish I had the acreage, I would love to have a parts truck. It would come in handy in op situation.
 
I have the parts trucks just the PA chrome is just harsh. Mostly the rockers. Floors and frames are toast

Any good yards in rancho CA?

I used to be in Rancho many moons ago. I can't tell you how it is now. But, if 4R parts are how it is now, I'm sure your choice in 3rd gen parts are severely limited there too.
But when I was there, the many yards on the Recycle Road area was thee place to be at. I cannot tell you which was better as I bought parts from different yards pending on which yard had what I was looking for.

I chuckle on the conversation you and Randy had about how fiercely protective you are with the parts you have.
Haha, I get it!
 
Hopefully I won’t need to be cutting parts trucks up …yet. Amayama accepted my order for that panel after a manual order review so that seems like a good sign. We’ll see.

Yes. The irony is Randy comes scavenging my parts. He does help me some, though.


The 3rd gens around my area are extremely scarce. A few in a pick and pulls. If they hit our main yard they get striped quickly.

It's one of the reasons I have so many of them. I figured, if everything gets crushed. I can keep 1 or 2 going. :)

I might be able to hook the op up if he can't get new.
