IMO you need to change the grille mesh to a MUCH smaller sizing Oman4x4 unless you have no stones on your roads/tracks over there.

Even the standard mesh size lets through stones that are too large (in my opinion because I suffered stone-holes in my radiator tubes until I reduced my mesh sizing).

Good to see you have mesh above the bib (even though the sizing is too large). I learnt to do that too.

There's quite a few things like that on the to-do list :) the grill that's in it at the moment definitely has to go :)

I've also ordered all new emblems all round, and the early 60's style turn signals.

We have a scrap yard in Dubai that's rumoured to be FJ40 heaven but I'm waiting until the temperature drops a few more degrees, I'm in no rush for the cosmetic stuff just yet :)

It is Ramadan right now which means eating and drinking in public is forbidden when the sun is up. Not an ideal time to be walking around a scrap yard in the sun!

Hoping I can find a grill easily enough, otherwise I'll find some random mesh and cut to shape.
 
Hey Laurie, this is an old thread but wondering if you would point me in the direction of the scrap yard for
FJ 40's. Is it in Dubai or Sharjah? Cheers Ian
