How rare is this option?
My 1988 JDM BJ71 came factory equipped with a retractable weather front behind the grill. Works very well to keep the temps up durring those cold canadian winters. Also a great way to keep the mud out of the A/c condenser and rad when out playing.
It is such a simple yet brilliant idea, I am surprised I have not seen it on all kinds of vehicles. I tried to swap it over to my BJ74 but it did not have the same brackets built into the condenser to allow it.
Just wondering if anybody else has this option, especially the BJ70's sold in Canada.

It's standard equipment on all the Canadian and JDMs that I have seen.

Nice option but mate

JDM's will have it but it depends on if they have the winter kit or not, usually trucks sold in the colder areas in japan will have them but in the warmer areas it isn't needed. Most if not all of my cdn diesel cruisers came with it.

If it did have it at one time you should still have some brackets or holes where it was mounted. My BJ74 is not set up to accept it. It's missing the little brackets on a/c condenser.......although I suppose your Cdn spec BJ70 is probably missing the a/c condenser too!

The wind shutter (roller blind) has been unavailable for many years.
