Brush Guard Compatibility (1 Viewer)

Had anyone seen a compatibility list for brush guards? I’m think about what years and models will fit on our 80’s series. I’m guess maybe some 4Runners and FJ’s might be compatible but so far I haven’t been able to find a list. Thought I’d check here just in case.
Thanks

Not without substantial modifications that will require welding.

Most here are going to strongly advise you against a brush guard. Get a steel or aluminum bumper instead…

Yeah, we call brush guards 'damage multipliers' because if it's mounted with the factory bumper, even a mild bump will push the guard into the front of the truck, causing damage to many things that would not otherwise be damaged w/o the guard in place.
Likely why there aren't many resources for them.

If you're interested in a rare chrome brush guard, let me know.

Your comments got my wheels turning. Since I’m very new to landcruiser, I posted a pic of my hood because it seems to bow out on each side and not close right. There’s also a couple of spots on each side of the front side of the hood that I couldn’t explain. Then, looking at the grill and how the lights are assembled in a few people commented that it might have been in an accident. The bumper also seems to be new. Now I’m thinking what LandLocked summaries with the brush guard is what actually already happened to mind. Take a look at the pics and let me know your thoughts.

On this forum you'll find brush guards are not compatible with land cruisers

Hey its your truck, do what you want to it.

Yep, that's exactly what looks to have happened.
