It has begun. I went on a little exploratory mission today to find a few junkyards and shops. I left home with a small “to buy” list…but as you can see, it snowballed! Can’t pass up a good deal!
Bride Zeta II – used but not a tear on it!
Maziora Deep Dish Steering Wheel – UpGarage, baby!
Hub Boss Kit & Horn Button – new from Autobacs
OMS Spec Brass Shift Knob – a local dude turned these from solid brass…
OMS Spec Brass Drift Knob – …and they are bad ass!
Cusco Rear Sway Bar w/Bushings – brand new, but at UpGarage so it was cheap!
JZX110 Tension Rods – new OEM from Toyota dealership
The steering wheel explodes in the light!
Shiny! I am pretty stoked that the knobs kind of match the wheel. It will help give the interior a cohesive look.
The JZX110 tension rods will be a necessity down the road…can anyone guess why??? Hmm??? I’ll leave you in suspense.
I had a hell of a time trying to find the part numbers for the JZX110 tension rods online, so I just went into the dealership and cumbersomely worked toward an understanding of my desired part. Haha. For anyone else trying to track them down, here you go – note each side is different so there are two different part numbers:
Surprisingly, the tension rods are not terribly priced. If anyone out there in internet world is having a hard time getting some 110 rods, send me an email – brickhouseproducts@gmail.com.
I can’t wait to install this stuff but first some much needed shut-eye. I’ll be sleeping with my beautiful Bride tonight!

Hey, Neil.
Thanks for the link. There are good deals to be had; you just have to look around.
The rods were 5,300yen each. Not too bad for a brand new OEM part.
