Parts and accessories Compatibility thread

[Prehistoric Perk]

I was hoping to start a parts and accessories compatibility thread for L300s specifically.
This should be a place where people can post parts that fit our vans. If it's year or engine specific parts please specify. If you have Amazon links, please post them with a screenshot if possible in case the link dies.
Also a good mention if there's a part from some other vehicles that are the right dimension to fit, such as Jeep XJ rear bumpers, even if they need small fabrication to work.

You can also put other accessories that fit well, such as seat covers, radios, seats, mudflaps, wheels, etc. I know there's probably other threads strewn about, but couldn't find one where everything was in one place.

I'll start out with these seat covers I found. The fronts fit nicely, you'll need to remove the seats for best fit. The bench seat cover fits ok too. You'll be limited to belt access unless you cut some holes, or maneuver them around the covers, but they look nice.

Here you go. I haven't removed the seats to tighten them up. Same for the rear bench, just put them over top. I'll probably do it sometime this week.

Oil pan heater. Works really well, just make sure you follow these steps
1. Let the oil pan cool down so it's warm but not hot.
2. Degrease the oil pan until a white rag or paper towel doesn't show any residue.
3. Finish prepping the area with alcohol

Then adhere your heater and apply even pressure to ensure a good bond. Run your power cable and secure with some zip ties.

I left mine hanging but able to be tucked up securely, in the future I will be installing an exterior "hull" port. Another option is the magnetic ones in case you drive away without unplugging. You can also put a red "RBFI" flag in your shifter as a reminder.

You can also post internal parts too that you're aware of. I.e. do we share pistons or window switches? Lights, trim clips, etc.

This gentleman makes rear hatch racks for VW vans, but also for the L300, his prices seem very reasonable, and located in Canada. I ordered mine and will post pictures once it arrives and is installed.
