Classic Repair – TOYOTA HILUX PICKUP/ 4RUNNER TRUCK
So many people have been trying to repair their TOYOTA HILUX PICKUP/ 4RUNNER TRUCK
We can find so many people discussing how to repair and find parts for their TOYOTA HILUX PICKUP/ 4RUNNER TRUCK, such as this forum.
YotaTech: Although it’s been 30 years, this type is still very popular. In that forum, new threads are discussed every day, especially about the interior part, the Steering Column Cover / Steering Column Shroud.
We met a Taiwanese customer because of the Steering Column Cover / Steering Column Shroud
One day, BuyNTry Parts received an email sent by a Taiwanese customer, Benny. He mentioned he needed a pair of Steering Column Cover/Steering Column Shroud for TOYOTA HILUX PICKUP/ 4RUNNER TRUCK 1989-1995. We weren’t surprised because Benny wasn’t the first one to order this in Taiwan.
Benny provided pictures and let us know the process of repairing his TOYOTA HILUX PICKUP/ 4RUNNER TRUCK 1989-1995.
Benny was very excited that he found a new Steering Column Cover/Steering Column Shroud. Besides, the manufacturer is right in Taiwan. What a coincidence! He told me he had almost bought a second-hand one. I could feel his excitement and really wanted to help.
3 Types of Steering Column Cover/Steering Column Shroud Available
This is what his part looks like; it’s broken. (Part numbers: 45287-04010, 45286-04020,45287-35230 ,45286-35340 45286-35350,45023-35070) I told Benny that there are at least 3 types for TOYOTA HILUX PICKUP/ 4RUNNER TRUCK 1989-1995. However, we didn’t develop that type he provided, that’s why we needed to try to fit it.
After around 1 month, Benny eventually visited us in person and brought the Steering Column Cover/Steering Column Shroud.
It’s SYB4002, SY0195GY, Undeveloped respectively.
| SKU | OEM-No. |
|---|---|
| SYB4002 | RN85, 45287-35170, 45287-35200, 45286-35260 |
| SY0195GY | RN91, 45286-35280, 45286-35290, 45286-35330, 45286-35360, 45286-04020, 45287-35210, 45287-35240, 45287-04020 |
| Undeveloped | RN81, 45287-04010, 45286-04020, 45287-35230, 45286-35340, 45286-35350, 45023-35070 |
It’s very clear to see the differences. Actually, the distance between the red circles and yellow squares is the same. In other words, the main fastening positions are the same, but SYB4002 is longer, so Benny chose SY0195GY to fit.
The fitment and difference among the Steering Column Cover / Steering Column Shroud
After fitting, Benny found out that only one fastening hole, which fastens the wiper and turn signal switch, is different. In other words, if you don’t use that hole, it can be replaced perfectly.
Regarding SYB4002(RN85,45287-35170,45287-35200, 45286-35260), it’s longer and doesn’t fit.
This is the fitting picture for SYB4002(RN85,45287-35170,45287-35200, 45286-35260).
Some types can be switched
This is the fitting picture for SY0195GY on Benny’s car. It fits perfectly and doesn’t need to modify anything. In fact, other model names also fit it, such as SYB4002(RN85,45287-35170,45287-35200, 45286-35260)also fits LN86 and RN125. Moreover, there are tilt/non-tilt models and key light/non-key light models. We even found out that some SY0195GY(RN91,45286-35280,45286-35290, 45286-35330, 45286-35360, 45286-04020,45287-35210,45287-35240, 45287-04020) fit the RN85. The best way to confirm is to take it off and compare with the pictures. After a couple of months, this TOYOTA HILUX PICKUP 1993 2WD RN81 has a brand new look.

Bringing an old car back to its youth is extraordinary and meaningful; this car carries not only passengers but also memories. When it comes to the original, only the owner can feel touched. That’s why there are so many old-car repair fans in the world. I am so happy and honored to have helped Benny by providing him with parts (exclusive to BuyNTry Parts) to work it out.
