FZJ80 grill emblem?

[tech_dog]

I got my '94 FZJ80 a new grill for her 30th birthday and was surprised to find three little holes to the right of the TOYOTA lettering. This was supposedly the OEM original, but the one I just took off does not have those three holes.

I'm guessing there was some sort of emblem in some years or in some markets. Does anyone know what it might have been?

I think it was for a turbo badge for the diesel engines

Correct! To bad they turbo badges are no longer produced.

The “TOYOTA” grill for USA spec 80 series 91-94 is NLA. Toyota only offers the non USA turbo diesel grills with the three holes for the turbo badge now.

I found a turbo emblem back in 2009 on put it on my non turbo FZJ80 because I hated looking at the three holes.

Toyota Grill Badge

Toyota Turbo Badge 3d printed, ~ 4 1/4 inches wide 15/16in tall If you want a different size let me know. Or a different color You can either use double side tape or Zip ties to attach to your Rig that makes all the cool noises.. 3.0 Turbo is made to use double sided tape 6.5 in

I can make a custom badge too

A custom badge seems like a better solution vs. an engine swap. I may just try a tiny bit of epoxy and touch up paint. The holes are tiny, barely visible to my old eyes.

If i go custom badge, I'm thinking "94 FZJ80"

There’s a 24valve Toyota emblem that would go well there.

What Am I missing ?
The 1FZ is a 24 valve this seems to make sense to me.

Charlie messaged me asking about a custom badge that says class 4. For the old trails 8n his area
