Your bumper has seen better days … it’s been resprayed to black
Mount it and buy a new toyota stock bumper for $150 and put it on the shelf… that will make you feel better
From the one pic… your missing the mirror arm from pass side and toyota emblem in grill
The rear flares are aftermarket … most likely had wider than stock tires at one time as well as aftermarket rims… the rims on it seem very clean and are either original referb or newer when the MT tires were put on … they are stamped on the inboard side a date
The rear aftermarket tank is a nice addition by PO
Post more pics … we love pics
You absoluteley will not hurt the value of your 40 by mounting the 8274. It will definitely enhance the originality of that rig. I say delete the flares and add the winch but then you’d have to fix the screw holes where the flares are so maybe keep the flares and add the winch!
I may not be too far from you in the not too far future.@Skreddy We have GOT to meet up sometime. I have got to get a picture of our two ladies next to each other. Yours is so cool and could be the older sibling to mine. I'm definitely doing the winch now. THANKS!
UPDATE: I just checked the mileage from Stanwood to Oakesdale and even though we're in the same state it will require me to open a home equity loan to pay for the fuel.... so I'll start saving now. LMAO.
Keep me posted. We should try to meet up.I may not be too far from you in the not too far future.
That's the lever for the Fairey OD.In post #15 there is a third shift lever on the trans hump. Is it for an O.D. or did it have a PTO mounted at some time in the past?
@Kayaker has the same Warn/Belleview 5687 I have on mine. I rebuilt it but have never used it. Was an option including the black bumper. Controls are a bit wonky being cable actuated.@Kayaker I notice in your second picture (I'm assuming based on the surrounding cars that its from the 70's) that your bumper is black. Was it black from the factory or did you paint it? I don't see any silver paint on mine and I'm wondering if it was originally black. I haven't reached out to the PO yet but just curious about yours....since you owned it since new.

Correct! I have that thick steel channel bumper - painted it pewter just to look more OEM. Doesn’t taper.While an option it was not an OEM option including the bumper. I show it was 10/79 when the first the reinforcement for the OEM bumper to use an electric winch. Prior to that it was an aftermarket heavy channel iron bumper. It was straight did not taper back on the ends. Toyota only sold OEM bumpers in pewter and chrome, never black.

@Living in the Past I’m not sure of the brochure that has the below photo that discusses options - maybe a dealer brochure?

Believe it's a Toyota US market brochure. Back to the early sixties Toyota sold US made US aftermarket parts thru dealers. Eaton, Warn, Ramsey and Hickey were a few manufacturers. I have a technical bulletin from 1963 to add aftermarket Air Conditioning in a Land Cruiser. Radios carpeting were also listed.
To the OP, run the 8274. Fits perfect on their, period correct and an amazing winch.
Lots of cool stuff there. Toyota was still doing this in 1988. A dealer option in Australia in 88 was an ARB bumper. Still on my BJ74.
