60 Series hood emblems?? (1 Viewer)

[User Name]

Hey guys,

Was just going through eBay listings and came across these (linked below), has anyone seen them on a cruiser before or know what region they were used in? Look interesting though never seen them before.

OEM Toyota 80-87 Land Cruiser FJ60 BJ60 Front Hood Gold "LC" Emblem Genuine

Was going to post in ebay finds but thought I'd put it here for a bit more traffic, mods feel free to move.

I was picturing steer horns and such when I opened this thread.....wasn't expecting such class. So very fine.

Fancy! I want one!

Those belong on a Toyota Cressida, not a Land Cruiser!

 

[JamesR]

Honestly...I don't want one.

SOR always pushed those. Never been a fan, just another bug splatter collector or limb magnet.

It was a Middle East thing

Funnily enough I just stumbled upon an old post in an unrelated thread with a user saying they had one on their truck from Kuwait. Not the biggest fan of them personally (well, I like them but I'm not sure they'd suit many 60's) but it's definitely something 'new' and hadn't seen them before.
I have a 70 series Toyo logo emblem on my HJ61 (PO install) but I quite like it. Considering it's an optioned VX it does suit it's late 80's class

Love me little emblem, I've bought 2 Hj61 imports and both of them had an emblem, just lucky I guess, they were originally released for Middle East fj62 models

Just to ask my BJ60 came from Nicaragua, government vehicle I believe. It has a base for a hood emblem but it is not the same base as these Mid East ones was there another one used in South America? Thanks

@Oldtoy74 mine has the same emblem as the beach pic, perhaps it was factory? I thought the PO had installed it. Great looking trucks!!

Put a pic up, show us your rig

Hey, Oldtoy74 I've got one but not sure on exact location to mount it. Any chance you could post here or pm me
the exact distance from the trailing edge of the hood to the rear edge of the base of the ornament.
metric distance in mm is good for me. Also, on the underside of the hood could you post a pic. Is there
a factory location, such as an inner brace location or something?
