Look for a 1st Gen Tacoma for parts. More of them fit the 01 T4R bud. That is your best bet. I'm not to sure about the Tundra, I'm guessing not because the frame is different.

Is the bottom of the mount or the top of the mount broken? Can you post a pic?

Look for Land Cruiser Prado 90 series parts. I would imagine that these would be more abundant.

I don't think it's the same, but I could be wrong. Either way, I think it would be easier to fab up some metal and weld it up top instead of trying to replace the entire mount itself.

I would say no. And even if it did somehow fit, you'd also have to do the other side too. You'd have to use Tacoma or Prado parts. If you find a Tacoma, you could get away with doing one side. You'd need to use both sides of the Prado though, I'm pretty sure.

Nizar,

I do believe some people have installed them. I am not very familiar with this though.

Even if it does install, the rear suspension may sit significantly lower than the front.

You are MUCH better off sourcing 90 series Prado suspension components as the front and rear suspensions are nearly identical. I would imagine that Prado parts are more abundant in Libya.

Yes a 2001 Tundra shock will work, but you will need to use the 4runner top hats. I would replace both sides while you're at it though.

Sounds like the only option OP has is Tundra shocks. Like [MENTION=53337]SCRunner12[/MENTION] said, you will need to use 4Runner top hats. If you can get the Tundra isolator's (the round rubber between shock and top hat) use those, if not use the ones you have.
