Toyota Parts Zone doing away with part diagrams?



I went to Toyotapartszone.com and noticed you can no longer look at the parts diagrams to reference part numbers. Anyone running into this issue with them? They were one of the best online parts houses and now it's gone, just quick discriptions of the parts.

I hope this is not another one of Toyota's plays to regain control of their delear networks.

Ok - Little update

I called ToyotaPartsZone.com, they are actually a dealership out of Cali, and spoke with the manager about the situtation. They said there IT guys are doing updates to the diagrams and they should be back up in the next couple of weeks. That seems like a long time, but I guess I will be forced to wait.

So, I can now rest assured they will be back up - sometime.

Good call, I never knew they existed. They have the part diagrams too, just like toyotapartzone.

I guess all is right in the world again...and I can order my pinion seals

Thanks

Noticed that also a few days ago. I ordered from toyotapartseast also since the diagrams were still up. Good to know it's just maintenance, I was already thinking of saving certain images if it was a toyota thing.

Bunkism...diagrams still not there.

But here's their stupid new video tutorial explaining how to use the parts diagrams. That don't exist...how handy is that? Nice one!

Yup, a marketing blunder on their part. I just sent an order off for almost $160 last night which would've went to them had I never had to search for other sites. But the taking down of the diagrams first sent to me to toyotapartseast.com which then lead me to search and find another place that a poster here or another board posted. Being in cali i wasn't taxed and orders over $100 ship free. So I use the diagrams from the east site and then order from partznet.com, they are in PA.
